Transformations Test

There are ten questions on this test for a total of 28 marks.

You have 45 minutes to complete the test.

Read each question carefully and be sure to answer every question.

If you have any questions about the test or instructions, raise your hand.

Once you are finished the test, you may:

1. Complete the task on the last page (not for marks).
2. Draw a picture on the back of the test.
3. Read quietly.
Please do not hand in your test until the period is over.

Important things to remember:

The origin is refers to the coordinates (0,0).

Total: _____/28

On this test, I will demonstrate that I can:

Identify points in the four quadrants of a Cartesian plane.
Plot points in the four quadrants of a Cartesian plane.
