A Level Maths Notes: FP3 – The Image of a Line Under Transformation By a Matrix
A matrix is a linear transformation, which means that it sends a line to a line.
To find the image of the line
on
transformation by the matrix
we
represent the line by the vector
and
multiply the vector by the matrix:
![]()
From this we see that
(1)
(2)
Rearrange (1) to make
the
subject and substitute into (2):
![]()
This is the image of the line.
