Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Scaling is a transformation that alters the dimensions of an object by multiplying its coordinates by a scaling factor (sx, sy).
Uniform Scaling: If the scaling factors are the same for all axes (sx = sy), the object becomes larger or smaller but maintains its proportions.
Non-Uniform Scaling: If the factors are different, the object may look stretched or squashed, but this is still technically a change in size relative to the axes.
