Benchmark Students will use coordinates in conjunction with the slope formula, midpoint formula, distance formula, equations of lines and other figures Clarification to prove geometric theorems or to determine properties of figures on the coordinate plane. Items that require knowledge of geometric theorems or properties of Content Limits figures outside of the content of the course will have that knowledge or property specified in the item stem. Items will limit repetitive calculations to no more than four of same type. For example, items may not require students to do more than 4 distance formula calculations. Items may be set in either real-world or mathematical contexts. Stimulus Attributes Graphics should be used in the majority of items as appropriate. None Specified Response Attributes Three students are playing a game and their starting positions Sample Items are shown on the coordinate plane below. A fourth student is joining the game and will be starting in position K. If K lies in the first quadrant, what y-coordinate would make HIJK a parallelogram? Correct Answer: 2
