Finding Transformation of a Line
I'm having a bit of trouble with this one. Can anyone help me spot where I've gone wrong?
Many thanks.
Q. If f is the transformation (x, y) ---> (x', y'), where x' = 3x + 2y & y' = 5x + 3y, find f(K), where K = 2x + y = 0.
Attempt: Begin by expressing x & y in terms of x' & y': x' - y' = 3x + 2y - (5x + 3y) => x' - y' = -2x - y => y' - x' = 2x + y => y = y' - x' - 2x
Now apply this expression of y to x': x' = 3x + 2y => x' = 3x + 2(y' - x' - 2x) => x' = 3x + 2y' - 2x' -4x => x' = 2y' - 2x' -x => x = 2y' -3x'
Returning to the expression of y', factor in the expression of x to bring equation to x'/ y' format: y' = 5x + 3y => 3y = y' - 5x => y =
=> y =
=>
=>
=> y = -3y' - 5x'.
Now apply the values of x & y to K = 2x + y = 0 => 2(2y' - 3x') + (-3y' - 5x') => 4y' - 6x' - 3y' -5x' => y' - 11x' = 0 or y - 11x = 0
Ans.: (From text book): x - y = 0

Interestingly, you could've finished the problem here itself.
