The linear transformation \(T:\mathbb{R}^{2}\to\mathbb{R}^{2}\) is represented by a matrix \(A=\begin{pmatrix} a&b\\ c&d\end{pmatrix}\). It is known that \(T(1,2)=(3,5)\) and \(T(2,-1)=(k,4)\). Moreover, the area scaling factor of \(T\) is \(6\) (that is, \(|\det A|=6\)). Determine the value of \(k\) and the matrix \(A\).

Answer Options

A. k = 42/5, A = [[100/25, -12/25],[13/5, 6/5]]
B. k = 44/5, A = [[99/25, -12/25],[13/5, 6/5]]
Correct Answer C. k = 42/5, A = [[99/25, -12/25],[13/5, 6/5]]
D. k = 42/5, A = [[99/25, -13/25],[13/5, 6/5]]
Correct Answer
C
Correct Option:
k = 42/5, A = [[99/25, -12/25],[13/5, 6/5]]
