Let \(T:\mathbb{R}^{2}\to\mathbb{R}^{2}\) be a linear transformation represented by the matrix \(A=\begin{pmatrix}a&b\\c&d\end{pmatrix}\). It is known that \(T(1,2)=(3,5)\) and \(T(2,-1)=(0,k)\). Moreover, the transformation preserves orientation and enlarges areas by a factor of \(6\). Determine the value of \(k\) and the determinant of \(A\).

Answer Options

Correct Answer A. k = -10, det A = 6
B. k = -8, det A = 6
C. k = -10, det A = -6
D. k = 12, det A = 6
Correct Answer
A
Correct Option:
k = -10, det A = 6
