# Uniform Scaling

Uniform scaling involves equal changes in both the x- and y-axis units. For example, in the following figure, coordinate space A's x- and y-axis are scaled by a factor of 10 with respect to coordinate space B's x- and y-axis.

The following matrix describes the x- and y-axis unit changes in a uniform scaling.

You can map the coordinates of point P in the preceding figure from one coordinate space to the other using:

If the coordinates of P in space A are (1, 1), the corresponding coordinates in space B are (10, 10).
