Use a row of descending monomials and a matrix with one control point per row. Expanding gives their coefficients in the three columns of the basis matrix:
The matrix multiplication is
In particular, , so multiplying the geometric matrix takes exactly the weighted control point sum in part (a). The two output entries are . The basis matrix depends only on the degree and ordering convention; holds the particular geometry.
