Hi people, please help me understand how to make the following:
I have an ellipse, centered at the origin, defined by the parametric equation
(x (t ), y (t )) = (a cos(t), b(sin(t)), t being from {0, 2pi}
what is the parametric representation of the same figure translated by +2 along the x-axis, +3 along the y-axis
and then rotated by 45 degrees
I get,
x’ = cos(pi/4) -sin(pi/4) |x| + |2|
y’ sin(pi/4) cos(pi/4) |y| |3|
to be read as the matrix multiplication of cos, -sin by original coordinates
plus the vector 2, 3 yielding the new coordinates…but this is not in homogeneous
coordinates…how to make it homogeneous…
and any additional info will be appreciated for the Math-phobic among us…
thanks,
bernie
