Vector space/Affine-linear mapping/Example

From Wikiversity

If we consider vector spaces V and W over a field K as affine spaces, then the affine mappings from V to W have the form

ψ:VW,vφ(v)+w,

where φ:VW is a linear mapping, and wW is a fixed vector. In particular, an affine mapping from K to K has the form

ψ:KK,xax+b,

where a,bK.
