Tutorial 6

This document discusses linear transformations, projections, and reflections. It provides examples of finding the matrix representation of linear transformations from Rn to Rm. It also explains that projections and reflections are not linear transformations as they do not fix the origin. Examples are given of finding the image of points and lines under orthogonal and skew projections and reflections.

Problem 2. Let T : Rn → Rm be a linear transformation.


(a) Show that T fixes the origin, that is, T (~0) = ~0 (Hint. T is closed under addition).
(b) Let l be a line in R2 which doesn’t go through the origin. Using the result in part a,
explain that any of the following map is not a linear transformation

• Projection (orthogonal and skew) into l

• Reflection (orthogonal and skew) through l

(c) Let P be a point in R2 which is not the origin. Let θ ∈ (0◦ , 360◦ ) be an angle. Using
the result in part a, explain that the rotation (counter-clockwise) around P by angle θ is
not a linear transformation.

Problem 3. Let T : R2 → R2 be the orthogonal projection onto the line l : x − 2y = 0.
