Describe an advantage of using vector graphics instead of bitmaps to represent images.

Often using vector graphics is better for images with which you want to retain scalability, as vector graphics store the information of the shapes (objects) that make up the image instead of the colour of each individual pixel. When scaling up and image bitmaps will often become blurry, as they are predicting what the image should look like as opposed to creating a similar shape with new parameters.
