Question Number 7372 by FilupSmith last updated on 25/Aug/16

v= [(x),((f(x))) ],  f(x)=mx+b  If I wish to rotate v counter clockwise  by θ degrees, how does one do so where:  •   v is rotated about the origin  •   v is rotated about the point (x_1 , f(x_1 ))  What are the new vectors?

$$\boldsymbol{{v}}=\begin{bmatrix}{{x}}\\{{f}\left({x}\right)}\end{bmatrix},\:\:{f}\left({x}\right)={mx}+{b} \\ $$$$\mathrm{If}\:\mathrm{I}\:\mathrm{wish}\:\mathrm{to}\:\mathrm{rotate}\:\boldsymbol{{v}}\:\mathrm{counter}\:\mathrm{clockwise} \\ $$$$\mathrm{by}\:\theta\:\mathrm{degrees},\:\mathrm{how}\:\mathrm{does}\:\mathrm{one}\:\mathrm{do}\:\mathrm{so}\:\mathrm{where}: \\ $$$$\bullet\:\:\:\boldsymbol{{v}}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{rotated}\:\mathrm{about}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{origin} \\ $$$$\bullet\:\:\:\boldsymbol{{v}}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{rotated}\:\mathrm{about}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{point}\:\left({x}_{\mathrm{1}} ,\:{f}\left({x}_{\mathrm{1}} \right)\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{What}\:\mathrm{are}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{new}\:\mathrm{vectors}? \\ $$

if we rotate by θ° about the origin, the matrix is  [((cos θ     −sin θ)),((sin θ         cos θ)) ]  the new vector v′ = [((cos θ   −sin θ)),((sin θ      cos θ)) ] [(x),((f(x))) ]=  [((x cos θ−f(x) sin θ)),((x sin θ+f(x) cos θ)) ]  if we rotated about the point (x_1  , f(x_1 ))  the new vector v′ =  [((cos θ    −sin θ)),((sin θ        cos θ)) ] [((x−x_1 )),((f(x)−f(x_1 ))) ]+ [(x_1 ),((f(x_1 ))) ]                                         =  [(((x−x_1 )cos θ+[f(x_1 )−f(x)]sin θ+x_1 )),(((x−x_1 )sin θ+[f(x)−f(x_1 )]cos θ+f(x_1 ))) ]
