SUMMARY
A one-to-one linear transformation preserves the linear independence of a set of vectors. If a set of linearly independent vectors is transformed by such a transformation, the resulting set remains linearly independent. If the transformed set is not linearly independent, it indicates that the transformation is not one-to-one, contradicting the initial condition. Understanding the definitions of linear independence and one-to-one transformations is crucial for grasping this concept.
