Supose I build a straight fence on the edge of my field, with posts at 1 meter intervals. The fence is 10 posts wide. Now, I want to build a similar fence (with the same interval) on the edge of my other field, which is twice as long. How many posts should I use? (Why is this relevant: In this example, I'm transforming the coordinates, scaling up by a factor of 2).
