TopicInvariant lines and eigenvalues and vectors
TypeFind line of invariant points
DifficultyEasy -1.8 This is a 1-mark multiple choice question requiring only direct substitution of each point into the transformation equation Ax = x to check which satisfies it. The calculation is trivial (checking if the point lies on the line y = 0), requiring minimal algebraic manipulation and no conceptual insight beyond knowing what 'invariant point' means.
