Also, please see web page
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/transform#general_transformation
which discusses various transforms including the powerful
matrix(a b c d e f) command.

For more on matrixes and their use with transforms, see the series of

For an investment of about 2 hours to view, ponder, and understand,
you'll know how to perform pretty much any linear transform (parallel
lines remain parallel and the origin stays where it is).
