# Matrix Transformation and Basis Selection

## Problem Statement

Define the transformation \( T: \mathbb{R}^2 \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^2 \) by \( T(\mathbf{x}) = A\mathbf{x} \), where \( A \) is the matrix defined below. Our task is to find a basis \( B \) for \( \mathbb{R}^2 \) such that the matrix representation \([T]_B\) is diagonal.

## Given Matrix

The matrix \( A \) is:

\[
A = \begin{bmatrix} -1 & -3 \\ 4 & 6 \end{bmatrix}
\]

## Objective

- Find a basis \( B \) for \( \mathbb{R}^2 \) such that \([T]_B\) is a diagonal matrix.

## Basis Representation

The basis \( B \) is provided as follows:

\[
B = \left\{ \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ -1 \end{bmatrix}, \begin{bmatrix} \, \, \, \, \, \, \end{bmatrix} \right\}, \quad [T]_B = \begin{bmatrix} \, \, \, \, \, \, \end{bmatrix}
\]

### Note
- The second vector of the basis \( B \) is not fully specified, as well as the diagonal elements of \([T]_B\).
  
In a comprehensive solution, we need to:
- Determine the eigenvectors of matrix \( A \) to complete the basis \( B \).
- Calculate the eigenvalues of \( A \) to fill in the diagonal of \([T]_B\).
