Q5. What Is Rotation?
A 2-D rotation is done by repositioning the coordinates along a circular path, in the x-y plane by making an angle with the axes. The trformation is given by:X| = r cos (q + f) and Y| = r sin (q + f).

Q26. What Is Scaling In Computer Graphics?
In computer graphic, image scaling is the process of resizing a digital image. scaling is a non-trivial process that involves a trade off between efficiency, smoothness and sharpness. With bitmap graphics, as the size of an image is reduced or enlarged, the pixels which comprise the image become increasingly visible, making the image appear “soft” if pixels are averaged, or jagged if not.
Q27. What Is Scaling?
A 2-D rotation is done by repositioning the coordinates along a circular path, in the x-y plane by making an angle with the axes. The trformation is given by:X| = r cos (q + f) and Y| = r sin (q + f).
