Let $A$ be the reflection of the plane $\mathbb R^2$ in the line $y=-x$. Find the matrix of $A$ in the standard basis $S=\{e_1,e_2\}$
I feel like my answer is too simple because the question is out of $10$ marks. Am I missing something?
$A(x,y) = (-y,-x)$
$A(e_1) = A(1,0) = (0,-1)$
$A(e_2) = A(0,1) = (-1,0)$
$\begin{bmatrix} A \end{bmatrix}_S = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & {-1} \\ {-1} & 0 \end{bmatrix}$
