### Matrix Reduction and Null Space Basis

#### Matrix A
The matrix \( A \) is given by:

\[
A = \begin{bmatrix} 
-2 & -2 & 2 & 8 \\ 
-6 & -2 & 1 & 1 \\ 
-6 & 0 & -1 & -9 
\end{bmatrix}
\]

#### Row Reduction
The matrix \( A \) reduces to its row-echelon form:

\[
\begin{bmatrix} 
-2 & 0 & 0 & -2 \\ 
0 & 2 & 0 & -4 \\ 
0 & 0 & 1 & 3 
\end{bmatrix}
\]

#### Null Space
To find a basis for the null space of matrix \( A \) (Nul \( A \)), follow these steps:

1. **Identify Free Variables**: In the row-echelon form, any column without a leading entry is a free variable.
2. **Express Basic Variables in Terms of Free Variables**: Solve the system for the basic variables in terms of the free variables.

#### Basis for Nul A
The null space basis is represented as a set of vectors. The placeholders are provided to input the solutions:

\[
\begin{bmatrix} 
\text{[ \ \ ]} \\ 
\text{[ \ \ ]} \\ 
\text{[ \ \ ]} \\ 
\text{[ \ \ ]} 
\end{bmatrix}
\]
