Scale Transformations

Scale transformations refer to the process of adjusting the size of an object or a representation, while maintaining its proportions. In everyday terms, imagine zooming in or out on a photo: when you scale it up, it becomes larger but retains its shape; when you scale it down, it gets smaller but still looks like the same image. This concept applies in various fields, such as art, mathematics, and computer graphics, allowing for the resizing of objects without distortion, enabling better visualization, modeling, and analysis of data or designs in a consistent manner.
