An affine transformation is a type of geometric transformation that preserves points, straight lines, and planes. It is a linear mapping method that can translate, scale, rotate, or shear objects in a coordinate space, and it can be represented mathematically using matrices. In an affine transformation, the relationship between original points and transformed points can be expressed in terms of linear algebra.
