Which of these plane maps always preserves the distance between points?
AEnlargement by factor 2
BHorizontal shearing
CTranslation by (2, 1)
DScaling by a factor 3
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Translation by (2, 1)
A translation is an isometry, whereas scaling and shearing change distances.
