What Is a Rotation in the Coordinate Plane?

The coordinate plane is an important tool to help you navigate and keep track of the locations of objects.

Coordinates are pairs of numbers that describe the exact locations of points in the coordinate plane.

A rotation in the coordinate plane is a transformation that turns a figure about a fixed point, known as the center of rotation.
