What are the eigenvectors of the standard matrix representation of the transformation T\bcb{T} that projects a vector v⃗\bcb{\vec{v}} onto the line x+y=0\bcb{x + y = 0}?
NB it does not matter which vector / value is called "1" or "2", so long as the vector and value you choose, match. If there is no way to create a match, select the appropriate option.
