Is one flag a translation image of the other, or a rotation image? Explain.
The image shows two identical flags on a coordinate plane.
One of the flags is in the upper right quadrant of the plane. The flag is at the top of a black segment. The flag is rectangular with a white stripe on top and black stripe on bottom.
The second flag is in the lower right quadrant of the plane. The flag is at the top of a black segment. The flag is rectangular with a white stripe on top and black stripe on bottom.

From the description given, it seems like the second flag is a reflection image of the first flag, rather than a translation or rotation image.
Translation refers to moving an image without changing its shape or orientation. In this case, the position of the flags is different, with one flag in the upper right quadrant and the other in the lower right quadrant. Therefore, it is not a translation image.
Rotation refers to turning an image around a fixed point. There is no mention of any turning or rotating of the flags in the description. Therefore, it is not a rotation image.
However, reflection refers to flipping an image over a line or axis. The second flag is described as being in the lower right quadrant, opposite to the position of the first flag in the upper right quadrant. This suggests that the second flag is a reflection image of the first flag, as it is flipped over the x-axis.
In conclusion, based on the description given, it appears that the second flag is a reflection image of the first flag.
