I have 2 sets of known 3x1 vectors A = [ x y 1 ] and B =[ x' y' 1 ] which represent points on two coordinates calculated by some MATLAB algorithm. I was wondering what I could do to find the 2x3 transform matrix that turns the x y set into the x' y' set.

[x'] [ ] [x]
[y']=[?] [y]
[1] [1]

B = QA

Q = 2x3 unknown transform matrix

What I've tried:
multiplying both sides by A-1, and I am left with A-1*B which is just a 1x1 scalar value. I've tried multiplying the variables out and I'm left with 2 equations and 6 unknowns. I also have many different values of xy & x'y' pairs given by the MATLAB algorithm but I don't see how that could help me. Any help is appreciated.

The system QA has two equations and six unknowns, the elements of Q. We can solve the system for these unknowns, which gives a solution with four parameters.
