One of the five given matrices represents an orthogonal projection onto a line and another represents a reflection about a line. Identify both and briefly justify your choice.
Consider a linear transformation Tfrom to . Suppose thatand are two arbitrary vectors in and thatis a third vector whose endpoint is on the line segment connecting the endpoints ofand . Is the endpoint of the vectornecessarily on the line segment connecting the endpoints ofand ? Justify your answer.

Let Lbe the line in that consists of all scalar multiples of. Find the orthogonal projection of the vectoronto line L.
Consider an n × p matrix A, a p × m matrix B, and a scalar k. Show that (k A)B = A (k B) = k(AB)
Consider the transformation T from to that rotates any vectorthrough an angle of in the counterclockwise direction, as shown in the following figure:

You are told that T is a linear transformation. (This will be shown in the next section.) Find the matrix of T .
