Rescaling the first basis vector gives the change-of-basis matrix , invertible because . Direct multiplication gives
Thus the matrices are related by matrix similarity. In terms of basis images, the coefficient along the rescaled first basis vector is divided by , while the second component of its image is multiplied by .
