In a biology lab, 500 bacteria reproduce by splitting, every hour, on the hour, each bacterium splits into two bacteria. In the table, write an expression for each hour (t) to show how to find the number of bacteria. Explain your reasoning

parallel and congruent

step-by-step explanation:

the movement of translation is linear.   these have the same translation because you are using the same rule for each point of the triangle so you will see the same slope being used to get from a point on the triangle to its image.

same slope!   you should think parallel when you see those 2 word together (well unless it's the same line but it can't be because we are coming from different points here)

congruent! because each point is being moved the same distance.

the answer is a
