Answer

$A=\begin{bmatrix} 3 & -2\\ 1 & 5 \end{bmatrix}$

Work Step by Step

We are given: $T(x_1,x_2)=(3x_1-2x_2,x_1+5x_2)$ The standard basis vectors in $R^2$ are: $e_1=(1,0)\\ e_2=(0,1)$ Consequently, $T(e_1)=(3,1)\\ T(e_2)=(-2,5)$ The matrix of the given transformation is: $A=T(e_1,e_2)=\begin{bmatrix} 3 & -2\\ 1 & 5 \end{bmatrix}$
