When the coordinate axes are rotated through an angle 135°, the coordinates of a point P in the new system are known to be (4,-3). Then find the coordinates of P in the original system.
  1. 12,72
  2. 12,72
  3. 12,72
  4. 12,72

Solution

Let, we have a point Px, y

Now, the coordinate axes rotated through an angle 135°, and the coordinate of the point P in new system is 4, -3.

Hence, applying the formula, the coordinates of the point P in the original system is 

x=x'cosθ-y'sinθ=4cos135°--3sin135°=-42+32=-12Similarly, 

y=x'sinθ+y'cosθ=4sin135°+-3cos135°=42+32=72

where, x, y is the coordinate of original system and x' ,y' is the coordinate of new system.
