i'm still a little confused about what degrees of freedom are? how do we determine the degrees of freedom of a matrix when looking at it like this? do we need to look at the linear equation system or can we just determine it by looking at the matrix?

Degrees of freedom represent the number of independent variables to define this particular transform. In the case of translations, there are two variables, t1 and t2, used to represent translation operations. See also my response here.
