Understanding Linear Homogeneous Systems

The video tutorial explains how to construct a 3x3 non-zero coefficient matrix with integer entries, ensuring that a given vector is a solution to the corresponding linear homogeneous system. It covers the formulation of the system of equations, substitution of the solution vector, and determination of possible coefficients for the matrix. The tutorial concludes with graphing the equations to verify the solution.

What is the primary goal when constructing a 3x3 non-zero coefficient matrix?
