Description
These resources assume a basic familiarity with the coordinate plane. To review the coordinate plane and related terminology, watch the videos in section 3.4 of Unit 3. Transformation is another term commonly used, but it has a specific meaning in geometry. This lecture series will help you identify different kinds of transformations.
