Question
Prove part of Theorem 8.6.1. [Hint: A line in the plane has an equation of the form \(Ax+By+C=0\), where \(A\) and \(B\) are not both zero. Use the method of example 1 to show that the image of this line under multiplication by the invertible matrix
\(\left[\begin{array}{ll} a & b \\ c & d \end{array}\right]\)
has the equation \(A' x+B' y+C=0\), where
\(A^{\prime}=(d A-c B) /(a d-b c)\)
and
\(B^{\prime}=(-b A+a B) /(a d-b c)\)
Then show that \(A^{\prime}\) and \(B^{\prime}\) are not both zero to conclude that the image is a line.
Solution
The first step in solving 8.6 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Prove part of Theorem 8.6.1. [Hint: A line in the plane has an equation of the form \(Ax+By+C=0\), where \(A\) and \(B\) are not both zero. Use the method of example 1 to show that the image of this line under multiplication by the invertible matrix \(\left[\begin{array}{ll} a & b \\ c & d \end{array}\right]\)has the equation \(A' x+B' y+C=0\), where \(A^{\prime}=(d A-c B) /(a d-b c)\)and \(B^{\prime}=(-b A+a B) /(a d-b c)\) Then show that \(A^{\prime}\) and \(B^{\prime}\) are not both zero to conclude that the image is a line.
From the textbook chapter Geometry of Matrix Operators you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
