I have a question that asks:
For the linear transformation given, find the standard matrix of the transformation:
$T: R^2 \rightarrow R^2 $, such that $T$ reflects a vector about the line $y = -x$.
What I did was take the vectors
\begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix} and \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix}
and drew the corresponding images and performed the transformation and got the matrix \begin{bmatrix} 0 & -1 \\ 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}
However, the answer given is \begin{bmatrix} 0 & -1 \\ -1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}
This lead me to wonder, is the standard matrix of the transformation not unique, or is my attempt at solving this completely wrong? Clarification would be greatly appreciated.
This is the correct answer $$\begin{bmatrix} 0 & -1 \\ -1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$$
The first column is the reflection of $(1,0)$ and the second column is the reflection of $(0,1)$.
