Question

3. Let L be the linear transformation on R2 that reflects each point P across the line y kx (k> 0) are eigenvectors of L a) (2 marks) Show that v1 and vz b) (1 mark) What is the eigenvalue corresponding to each eigenvector? (Hint: No need to calculate the characteristic polynomial or solve a matrix equation. Geometric reasoning should suffice to solve this problem. Drawing a diagram is recommended!)
