We used something like this for a class once. You can follow which point is 
transformed where


def vector_plotter(vec_list, points=False, **kwds):
    pic = Graphics()
    for c, v in zip(rainbow(len(vec_list), 'rgbtuple'), vec_list):
        if points:
            pic += point(v, rgbcolor=c, **kwds)
        else:
            pic += plot(v, rgbcolor=c, **kwds)
    return pic

You can give it a list of points, and in another plot look at the list of 
transfrmed points.

#V is a list of vectuors
vector_plotter(V)

vector_plotter([M*v for v in V])
