Problem Statement-1
Magnify a triangle placed at A (0,0), B (1,1) and C (5,2)
to twice its size keeping the point C (5,2) Fixed.
If the point C (5,2) needs to be fixed this means the transformation scaling needs to be done
with respect to the point C (5,2). So, we will bring the point C (5,2) to origin first and then
perform the transformation and finally send the point C (5,2) back.
In other words, we would perform a negative translation with Tx =5 and Ty = 2 then perform
scaling transformation Sx and Sy =2 and finally a positive translation with Tx=5 and Ty=2.
Computer graphics only provides the transformation with respect to origin. To get above
transformation we need to perform multiple transformations, which is also knowns as
composite transformation.
We would obtain the that composite transformation as follows:
So New Triangle Coordinates = Positive Translation Matrix * Scaling Matrix * Negative

The Composite Scaling Transformation
With values tx=5, ty=2 and sx and sy=2.
With Values of tx, ty,sx and sy
The result
after Multiplication of the first two matrices.
Multiply the
resultant matrix of scaling composite transformation with Triangle Matrix
New Coordinates of Triangle
The new triangle coordinates are A'(-5,-2), B(-3,0) and C'(5,2). You can see point C(5,2)
remained unchanged after scaling transformation. Which confirms that the solution is
correct.
Problem Statement -2
Magnify a triangle placed at A(0,0), B(1,1) and
C(5,2) to twice its size.
Magnification and Compression words relates to scaling of an object. So Scaling
transformation should do the needful. Since we have to magnify the triangle to twice its size,
we would take the scaling coordinates Sx and Sy as 2. Sx =2 and Sy =2.
Please remember if nothing is mentioned about the point of transformation then assume it
from origin.
We will multiply the scaling matrix with the triangle matrix to get the coordinates after
transformation.
So New Triangle Coordinates = Scaling Matrix * Triangle Matrix.

It is clear from the resultant matrix that A’ B’ and C’ are magnified to twice its size. The new
coordinates of the triangle are A’ (0,0), B’(2,2) and C’(10,
