Image of a Point

This file, Image:ggb.gifThe Image of a Point, illustrates how the coordinates of the preimage (with respect to the original axis) are the same as the coordinates of the image (with respect to the transformed axis). This sketch also illustrates how the the rectangle formed by the preimage is transformed into a parallelogram whose sides lie on the column vectors. The area of this parallelogram is equal to the product of the area of the rectangle and the determinant of the matrix formed by the column vectors. This file also shows the image of the lattice points for reference.
