Step 1
Consider a basis of the space, formed from by the vector (1, 1) and a vector perpendicular to it, such as (-1, 1).
For any v, you can write v=a(1, 1)+b(1, 1) for some a, b. Then, you can prove that P(v)=a(1, 1) (this is because you should have both P(v)v(1,1) and P(v)(1,1).
From this, you can prove
That it is a linear transformation
That the matrix of this linear transformation in the basis {(1,1),(1,1)} is
(1001)

Step 1
You can find the matrix by seeing where the two vectors (1, 0) and (0,1) map to.
For (1, 0) you need to find the line that goes through (1,0) that is orthogonal to the line y=x.
Then find the point of intersection with that line and y=x.
Do the same for (0, 1). Then the first column of the matrix will be the image of (1, 0) and the second column will be the image of (0, 1).
