(A) DESCRIBE THE KEY ATTRIBUTES OF THE COORDINATE PLANE, INCLUDING PERPENDICULAR NUMBER
LINES (AXES) WHERE THE INTERSECTION (ORIGIN) OF THE TWO LINES COINCIDES WITH ZERO ON EACH
NUMBER LINE AND THE GIVEN POINT (0, 0); THE X-COORDINATE, THE FIRST NUMBER IN AN ORDERED
PAIR, INDICATES MOVEMENT PARALLEL TO THE X-AXIS STARTING AT THE ORIGIN; AND THE Y-COORDINATE,
THE SECOND NUMBER, INDICATES MOVEMENT PARALLEL TO THE Y-AXIS STARTING AT THE ORIGIN;
(B) DESCRIBE THE PROCESS FOR GRAPHING ORDERED PAIRS OF NUMBERS IN THE FIRST QUADRANT OF THE
COORDINATE PLANE;
 TRANSFORMATION
A MOVEMENT THAT DOESN'T CHANGE THE SIZE OR SHAPE OF A FIGURE IS
A RIGID TRANSFORMATION.
EXAMPLE OF TRANSFORMATION

AFTER ANY OF THOSE TRANSFORMATIONS (TURN,

FLIP OR SLIDE), THE SHAPE STILL HAS THE SAME
SIZE, AREA, ANGLES AND LINE LENGTHS.
