Answer 2

D.) The name of the shape on the right is M prime N prime O prime P prime Q prime R prime S prime because it is the image of the shape on the left.

Explanation:

So the first thing we have to do is look at the information given, we know that the shape on the left is translated into the shape on the right. When a shape is "translated" it simply means that the shape doesn't change in size or rotation it only glides or moves. So the shape on the right is the former shape and the shape on the left is the pre-image.

Knowing that the left shape is the pre-image goes ahead and eliminates answer choices B & C as both answers mention that the right side is the image before the transformation which because of what was previously mentioned, is incorrect.

This leaves only answer choices A and D. Finally we can narrow down the final answer by knowing that the apostrophe " ' " or prime should be placed after each letter not just at the end of letters. For example A'B'C'D' not ABCD'. If we apply this rule to the last to answer choices we can see that D is the correct answer.
