Change of basis (coordinates)

172 Views Asked by At

can somebody help me with this by giving me a hint how to solve these $2$ $?$:

Given

  • a point $P$ with coordinates $(10,4)$ in a fixed coordinate system.

  • a new coordinate system with origo in $(6,0)$ and rotated $60^{\circ}$ counterclockwise.

$1$) Find the coordinates of $P$ in the new coordinate system.

$2$) Write down the equation, that will transform any point $P=(x,y)$ in the fixed coordinate system to coordinates $P'=(x’,y’)$ in the new coordinate system.

This is what I have thought about: Finding the coordinates as projections and then I don't know because I don't understand what I have. Do I've $2$ coordinates$?$

When origin located at $O=(0,0)$: $P=(x_o,y_o)$

Location of new origin: $O'=(a,b)$

Point $P$ in new system: $P=(x_o,y_o)-(a,b)=(x_o-a,y_o-b)$
