![### 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}
