Investigate the application of vector transformations applied to linear systems. Individuals use vectors to transform a linear system translating the solution to the origin. They apply their understanding of vectors, matrices, transformations, and linear systems to arrive at their conclusions. This is the 25th installment in a 29-part series of lessons.
