Linear Transformations

Linear transformations are essentially functions that exist between a pair of vector spaces, maintaining the operations of scalar multiplication and vector addition. These transformations play a critical role in the realm of linear algebra, frequently symbolizing geometric transformations such as rotations, reflections, or scaling. These are particularly relevant in fields like computer graphics, physics, and engineering.

Proving a Transformation is Linear

Let \( T: R^2 \rightarrow R^2 \) be a linear transformation such that \( T(x, y) = (3x + 4y, 2x + 3y) \). Prove that \( T \) is a linear transformation.
