Lesson#4 Prove of Rotation Formulas (1) Prove that X = x cos theta + y sin theta Y = -x sin theta + y cos theta PROOF: If the axes Ox and Oy are rotated about the origin (origin remaining unaltered) through an angle theta, the new axes are OX and OY. If a point P has coordinates (X,Y) referred to xy-system then it has coordinates (X,Y) referred to the rotated XY-system.
