Answer

The eigenspace is 1 2 dimensional subspace of $R^2$ Basis is $\Big\{\begin{bmatrix} 3\\ 2 \end{bmatrix} \Big\}$

Work Step by Step

$A-4I=\begin{bmatrix} 10&-9\\ 4&-2 \end{bmatrix}-4\begin{bmatrix} 1&0\\ 0&1 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 6&-9\\ 4&-6 \end{bmatrix}$ Row reduce augmented matrix for $(A-4I)x=0$ $\begin{bmatrix} 6&-9&0\\ 4&-6&0 \end{bmatrix}$~$\begin{bmatrix} 1&-1.5&0\\ 0&0&0 \end{bmatrix}$ $x_1=1.5x_2$ $x_2$ is free The eigenspace is 1 2 dimensional subspace of $R^2$ Basis is $\Big\{\begin{bmatrix} 3\\ 2 \end{bmatrix} \Big\}$
