Scaling shifts coordinates similar to translation. The difference is, that translation is independent of the current coordinates. Scaling however shifts the coordinates depending on the current values. So the same trnasformation matrix has various effects on different vectors.

Scaling is achieved by modifying the components on the first diagonal of the transformation matrix.
