Let T be the transformation corresponding to the reflection of a vector about a given vector u, and A be the corresponding transformation matrix.
A = [T(e1) T(e2) ⋯ T(en)]
where e1,e2 ⋯en represent the orthogonal basis vectors.
Also, we know that the reflection of a vector along a given vector u can be given as:
T ei
yi ei
On substituting these values in A, we get:
A = [y1 y2 ⋯ yn] ⎡y1⎤

For any two integers i and j, 0 ≤ i,j ≤ n

When i = j,
Now, when i ≠ j,
Hence,
Thus, we have proved that the transformation matrix is orthoganal. Subsequently,

We can calculate the inverse of the upper triangular matrix using the property that the inverse of an upper triangular matrix is also an upper triangular matrix (the same holds for lower triangular matrices too). This gives us

On comparing equations on both sides and solving, we get

The basis of the subspace is {e1 − e2 1 + e2}. The projection of x onto this subspace is given by
