Find the transformed equation of x cosα + y sinα = p when the axes are rotated through an angle ‘α’.

Answer»

Let (X, Y) be the new coordinates of (x, y)

So,  x = X cosα – Y sinα, y = X sinα + Y cosα

The transformed equation is (X cosα – Y sinα) cosα + (X sinα + Y cosα) sinα = p

=> X cos2α – Y sinα cosα + Y sin2α + Y cosα sinα = p 

=> X(cos2α + sin2α) = p

=>X = p.
