Question

Two lines, a and b, are parallel. If both of the lines are rotated 90° in the same direction and then translated to the right by the same number of units, which statement about the lines resulting from these transformations is true? They will be parallel. They will be the same line. They will be perpendicular. They will intersect, but they won't be perpendicular.

Answer 1

They will be parallel.

Explanation:

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are rotation, translation, reflection and dilation.

Translation is the movement of a point up, down, left or right. Rotation is the turning of a point about a fixed point.

If two parallel lines a and b are rotated 90° in the same direction, they would still be parallel. If they are then translated to the right by the same number of units, they would still remain parallel to each other.
