CSS 2D Transforms Methods
With the CSS transform
property you can use the following 2D transformation methods:
translate()
rotate()
scaleX()
scaleY()
scale()
skewX()
skewY()
skew()
matrix()
Tip: You will learn about 3D transformations in the next chapter.
The translate() Method

The matrix()
method combines all the 2D transform methods into one.
The matrix() method take six parameters, containing mathematic functions, which allows you to rotate, scale, move (translate), and skew elements.
The parameters are as follow: matrix(scaleX(),skewY(),skewX(),scaleY(),translateX(),translateY())
