Question 20562: I have a homework question where it asks the following question:
Find the standard matrix representation for the following linear transformation. L is the linear transformation that rotates each xER^2 (every x in R^2) by 45 degrees in the counterclockwise direction then reflects about the line x2=x1.
So far, I drew the geometric representation of the problem, where e1 is rotated from x1-axis and e2 is rotated from x2-axis by 45 degrees. Where I am is the 'relfects about the line x2=x1.' I have no idea what to do from here, can you help me?

L is the linear transformation that rotates each xER^2 (every x in R^2) by 45 degrees in the counterclockwise direction then reflects about the line x2=x1.

I prefer to use x,y instead of x1, x2.
(x,y)^T means the column vector in
the rotation (45 deg) as
(x, y)^T-->
(cos -sin) (x)
(sin cos ) (y)
--->
(x cos -y sin )
(x sin + y cos )

-->
( )
( )
Then the reflection (x,y)^T-->(y,x)^T (swap x & y)

Hence, L:(x,y)^T=( , )^T
