Transformation geometry changes the position of a point, line, or a shape on the coordinate plane. Rotations; translations, or slides; and reflections, or flips, are geometric transformations that change an object's position or orientation but not its shape or size.

The beginning focusing questions should include how the sign of x and y change in the different quadrants of the coordinate plane.

What is the sign of y in the third quadrant? What happens to the sign of x and y as we move from the first to the fourth quadrant?
