standard_description: Represent transformations in the plane using, e.g., transparencies and geometry software; describe transformations as functions that take points in the plane as inputs and give other points as outputs. Compare transformations that preserve distance and angle to those that do not (e.g., translation versus horizontal stretch).

Problem 2
Here are the low temperatures (in Celsius) for one week in Juneau, Alaska:
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["table", "table-bordered"], "style": "table-layout:fixed; width:100%"}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "background-color:#eeeeee; text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Monday"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "background-color:#eeeeee; text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Tuesday"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "background-color:#eeeeee; text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Wednesday"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "background-color:#eeeeee; text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Thursday"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "background-color:#eeeeee; text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Friday"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "background-color:#eeeeee; text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Saturday"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "background-color:#eeeeee; text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Sunday"}]}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$$5$$"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$$-1$$"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$$-6$$"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$$-2$$"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$$3$$"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$$7$$"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$$0$$"}]}]}]}]}]}
a.   Arrange the temperatures in order from coldest to warmest temperature.
b.   On a winter day, the low temperature in Anchorage was
$$23$$
degrees below
$$0$$
°C, and the low temperature in Minneapolis was
$$14$$
degrees below
$$0$$
°C. Sophia wrote: “Minneapolis was colder because
$$-14 < -23$$
.” Is Sophia's statement correct? Explain your answer.
c.   The lowest temperature ever recorded on Earth was
$$-89$$
°C in Antarctica. The average temperature on Mars is about
$$-55$$
°C. Which is warmer, the coldest temperature on Earth or the average temperature on Mars? Write an inequality to support your answer.
Problem 3
The elevation of New Orleans, Louisiana, is
$$7$$
feet below sea level. The elevation of Coachella, California, is
$$-72$$
feet. Write an inequality to compare the elevations of the two cities.
