This category contains pages concerning Characteristics of Vector in Plane:


Let a Cartesian plane $\CC$ be established with origin $O$.

Let $\tuple {A_x, A_y}$ be an ordered pair of real numbers that can be used to represent a point in $\CC$.


Then:

$\tuple {A_x, A_y}$ are the Cartesian coordinates of the terminal point of a position vector $\mathbf A$

if and only if:

$\tuple {A_x, A_y}$ can be transformed into $\tuple { {A'}_x, {A'}_y}$ by rotating $\CC$ about $O$ through an angle $\varphi$ using:
\(\ds {A'}_x\) \(=\) \(\ds A_x \cos \varphi + A_y \sin \varphi\)
\(\ds {A'}_y\) \(=\) \(\ds -A_x \sin \varphi + A_y \cos \varphi\)
