3. a) Describe the Bresenham’s circle drawing algorithm.
b) Explain how the Bresenham’s line drawing algorithm works for the line joining the points (–1, 2) and (7, 5).

4. a) Describe Cohen - Sutherland algorithm for line clipping.
b) Explain how the Sutherland - Hodgaman algorithm for polygon clipping.

5. a) Describe the matrix forms of the two dimensional transformations of translation, rotation and scaling.
b) Derive the transformation matrix for finding the reflection of a point with respect to the line y = mx + c.

b) Describe the methods for character generation.

7. a) Describe the 3D transformations for rotation, scaling and translation
b) Find the combined matrix transformation of the following:
3D rotation of an object by a degrees around X- axis followed by a 3D rotation of b degrees around Y- axis, which in turn is translated with a units along X- axis, b units along Y-axis c units along Z-axis.
