Determine if the specified linear transformation is (a) one-to-one and (b) onto. Justify your answer.

\[ T: \mathbb{R}^3 \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^2, \]
\[ T(e_1) = (1,3), \]
\[ T(e_2) = (4,-6), \]
\[ T(e_3) = (-5,3), \]

where \( e_1, e_2, e_3 \) are the columns of the \( 3 \times 3 \) identity matrix.

a. Is the linear transformation one-to-one?

- **A.** \( T \) is not one-to-one because the standard matrix \( A \) has a free variable.
- **B.** \( T \) is one-to-one because the column vectors are not scalar multiples of each other.
- **C.** \( T \) is not one-to-one because the columns of the standard matrix \( A \) are linearly independent.
- **D.** \( T \) is one-to-one because \( T(\mathbf{x}) = 0 \) has only the trivial solution.

b. Is the linear transformation onto?

- **A.** \( T \) is not onto because the standard matrix \( A \) contains a row of zeros.
- **B.** \( T \) is not onto because the columns of the standard matrix \( A \) span \(\mathbb{R}^2\).
- **C.** \( T \) is onto because the standard matrix \( A \) does not have a pivot position for every row.
- **D.** \( T \) is onto because the columns of the standard matrix \( A \) span \(\mathbb{R}^2\).
