We first calculate the eigenvector of the eigenvalue ,
Considering the first line, we obtain
Notice that there is a free variable which is common when finding eigenvectors. Therefore, we can choose , then and have the eigenvector .
For the second eigenvector of the eigenvalue , we calculate
Considering the first line, we obtain
There is a free choice like before and we choose , then and have the eigenvector .
