1) 2D geometric transformations include translations, scaling, and rotations. They can be represented by transformation matrices.
2) Translation moves an object by adding offsets to x and y coordinates. It can be represented by a 3x3 matrix with 1s on the diagonal and offsets as the last column.
3) Scaling enlarges or shrinks an object by multiplying x and y coordinates by scaling factors. It can be represented by a 2x2 diagonal matrix with scaling factors.
4) Rotation rotates an object by applying a trigonometric transformation to x and y coordinates. It can be represented by a 2x2 rotation matrix containing cosine and sine of the rotation angle.
