One More Matrix Geometry Problem
The endpoints of a diagonal of a square drawn in the xy coordinate plane are expressed as (0, 0) and (-2, 0).
When this square is transformed by a 2x2 matrix, the resulting quadrilateral has coordinates (0, 0), (5, 1), (6, 4), and (1, 3).
Find the transformation matrix.
