A translation is when a shape slides. There are three other transformations other than this: * rotation * dilation * reflection. During translation, an object changes its position but not orientation.

What does a translation in geometry not preserve?
Location.
How is a reflection rotation and translation similar?
they are all with shapes and have to do with geometry
What does translation mean in geometry?
On the Cartesian plane a translation moves every point on a shape in the same distance and direction
What is the difference between a reflection and a translation in geometry?
A reflection is a mirror image of a shape whereas a translation moves an image to a different place
Which describes a grid motion transformation in geometry?
In 2 dimensional space it is a translation vector which is a 2x1 column vector.

Two congruent triangles are drawn with geometry software. Determine whether the transformation shown is a translation. Answer yes or no?
yes

What does transformation mean in geometry?
A transformation is moving or changing the shape of a figure on the Cartesian plane by a translation, by a reflection, by a rotation or by an enlargment
What is the definition of translation?
The term "translation" can be generally defined as the action of interpretation of the meaning of a text, and production of an equivalent text that communicates the same message in another language. In geometry and physics, translation is the relocation of the position of points or objects. In cellular reproduction, translation is the first stage of protein biosynthesis.
Is a translation the same as a slide flip or rotation?
Neither, because a translation is only moving across one plane. Slide flip isn't even used in geometry. I'm not sure what that is. A rotation is moving across and axis from a specific point, which cannot be done in a translation.
