Each column of $a 2\times 2$ matrix can be read as the coordinates of a vector in the 2D plane. For the matrix $A = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 1 \\ 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$, the first column $\begin{bmatrix} 3 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix}$ represents the vector from the origin to the point (3,1), and the second column $\begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 2 \end{bmatrix}$ represents the vector from the origin to the point (1,2).

Conditions: The matrix is $2\times 2$.; Working in standard Cartesian coordinates.
