Getting point-coordinates after a rotation












1












$begingroup$


I have two points $p_1$ and $p_2$ on a 2-dimensional graph, each having an $x$-coordinate and a $y$-coordinate. I want to rotate $p_2$ by $60^circ$ around $p_1$, such that $p_1$ is fixed in its position. So, how to know the new $p_2$ coordinates (after rotation)? I think there's some relation between the line that connects $p_1$ to $p_2$ and the angle $60^circ$, but can't figure what is.

          Write the points in column vectors: $begin{pmatrix} x\y end{pmatrix}$. Then



          $P_2':=begin{pmatrix} cosvarphi & -sinvarphi \ sinvarphi & cosvarphi end{pmatrix}cdot (P_2-P_1) + P_1$



          where choose $varphi=pm 60^circ$ according which direction you want to rotate.

            Yes, matrix multiplication, I could have expanded it. First reduced the problem where $P_1$ is the origo (shifted by $-P_1$ before rotation and $+P_1$ after), and the matrix multiplication gives the rotated vector.

          In the complex number plane, a rotation of a point, $z$, through an angle, $theta$, is accomplished by $z to z e^{i theta}$.



          If $z = x + iy$, where $x,y in mathbb R$, and $theta = 60^circ$, then



          $x + iy
          to (x + i y)(cos 60^circ + i sin 60^circ)
          to (x + iy)(1 + isqrt 3)/2
          to (x-frac 12ysqrt 3) + i(y +frac 12xsqrt 3)$



          In $mathbb R^2$, this translates into
          $(x,y) to (x-frac 12ysqrt 3, frac 12xsqrt 3 + y)$
