Invariant line
In the above example, the x-axis is the invariant line and the object lies on (1,1).
Thus, =1
3= Di/1
Di = 3

Maths Notes
Because, stretch moves perpendicular to the invariant line, thus, the image(X’) will be at
(1,3).
The same will take place if the invariant line is the y-axis instead of the x-axis.

In the above example, the invariant line is x-axis and the object lies on (1,1). Invariant line
Do = 1
Scale factor(K) given to us is 2
Thus, K =
=> 2= Ds/1
=> Ds= 2
Because shear moves parallel to the invariant line, thus the image(X’) will be produced at
(3,1).
The same will take place if the invariant line is y-axis instead of the x-axis.
Area of image = Area of object
