Let the original coordinates of the point
P be
(x0,y0)=(4,1).
We will apply the transformations in succession and find the coordinates of
P after each step.
Step (i): Origin is shifted to the point
(1,6) by translation of axes.
When the origin is shifted to
(h,k), the new coordinates
(x′,y′) of a point
(x,y) are given by the formulas:
x′=x−hy′=y−kIn this case,
(x,y)=(4,1) and
(h,k)=(1,6).
So, the coordinates of
P after this transformation, let's call them (
x1,y1 ), are:
x1=4−1=3y1=1−6=−5The point
P is now at
(3,−5) with respect to the new coordinate system.
Step (ii): Translation through a distance of
2 units along the positive direction of
X-axis.
This implies a translation of the point itself within the current coordinate system (established after step (i)). A translation of a point
(x,y) by
a units along the positive X-axis results in new coordinates (
x+a,y ).
Here, the point is
(x1,y1)=(3,−5), and the translation distance is
a=2.
So, the coordinates of
P after this transformation, let's call them
(x2,y2), are:
x2=x1+2=3+2=5y2=y1=−5The point
P is now at
(5,−5).
Step (iii): Rotation of axes through an angle of
90∘ in the positive direction.
This means the coordinate axes (with respect to which
P is currently at
(5,−5) ) are rotated by an angle
θ=90∘ counter-clockwise.
If the old coordinates of a point are
(x,y) and the axes are rotated by an angle
θ, the new coordinates
(x′,y′) are given by:
x′=xcosθ+ysinθy′=−xsinθ+ycosθIn this case, the point is
(x2,y2)=(5,−5) and
θ=90∘.
cos90∘=0sin90∘=1So, the final coordinates of
P, let's call them
(x3,y3), are:
x3=5cos90∘+(−5)sin90∘=5(0)+(−5)(1)=−5y3=−5sin90∘+(−5)cos90∘=−5(1)+(−5)(0)=−5The final position of the point
P is
(−5,−5).
Comparing this with the given options, the final coordinates are
(−5,−5), which corresponds to Option C.
The final answer is
(−5,−5).
