Transpose characterized

Instead of thinking of the matrix transpose as the swapping of rows and columns, there is a more meaningful characterization:

Matrix transpose

Let \( A \) be an \( m \times n \) matrix and \( x \in \mathbb{R}^n \) and \( y \in \mathbb{R}^m \) be column vectors. Then the transpose of \( A \), denoted \( A^{T} \) is the matrix such that the following holds:

[\[ \; ? \quad = \quad ? \; \]]
