9.2. Geometric Interpretations of Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors

The world of linear algebra is vast and complex, filled with numerous concepts that hold significant mathematical importance. Among these, eigenvalues and eigenvectors stand out due to their profound implications in various domains, from physics to machine learning. At the heart of their importance is the geometric interpretation they offer, which sheds light on the intricacies of linear transformations and matrices.

Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors: A Refresher

Before diving into the geometric aspects, let's briefly revisit the fundamental definitions. Given a square matrix , an eigenvector is a non-zero vector such that when acts on , the output is a scalar multiple of . This scalar is termed the eigenvalue associated with the eigenvector . Mathematically, this relationship is captured by:
