Here's an example. Any 3x3 matrix (using homogeneous coordinates) that represents a translation of 2D points will be a non-linear transformation. So take the point (x,y) and convert to homogeneous coordinates (x,y,1). Consider the transformation represented by the matrix:
[ 1 0 h 0 1 k 0 0 1 ]
This transformation will map (x,y,1) to (x+h,y+k,1), which represents the point (x+h,y+k).
(x,y) -> (x+h,y+k) is a transformation that is not linear, and it is represented by the above matrix.
However, the standard way to represent a transformation with a matrix will always yield a linear transformation.
