has       , whereas if           but b is nonzero, then every point of the form

has       , and if        but a is nonzero, then every point of the form

has       . Finally, in the degenerate case  and , we have                       for every v in .

In each case, T fails to be one-to-one, so there can be no transformation from the plane to the real line that is both linear and
one-to-one.

Of course, even if               , a linear transformation from V to W might not be one-to-one, as the zero
transformation shows.
