The above matrix has two rows and three columns. It is thus a $2 \times 3$ matrix.

Naturally, a vector can only be multiplied by a matrix if the number of rows in the vector equals the number of columns in the matrix.

Show that the transformation $T: \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}^m$ defined by $T(v) = Av$ is linear. \\
Before you start, answer the following questions:

\item What is $A$?
\item What is $v$?
\item What are their sizes?
