Step 1 1 of 4
to find the eigenvalues and a basis for the eigenspace for this
transformation all we have to do is find the eigenvalues and a basis for the
eigenspace of the standard matrix for the transformation which from
section 4.9 we see is
−1 0
A=[ ]
0 1
T (x) = λx geometrically this means that the vector x will not change
direction, only length after the operation
Step 2 2 of 4
so we want to find a vector v that don't change direction when they are
reflected about the y axis

Step 4 4 of 4
we can see above that the only lines which wouldn't change direction
when reflected in respect to y axis will be the vectors that either fall on
the y axis or are perpendicular to it therefore they fall on the x axis
1

0
and because when the operation is applied this vector doesn't get
expanded, we can say that λ1 = 1
0
[ ]
1
and because when the operation is applied this vector doesn't get
expanded, but it does change it's direction with 180° we can say that
λ2 = −1
