Question
If the origin is shifted $$\left( {1,\,2,\, - 3} \right)$$ without changing the directions of the axis, then find the new coordinates of the point $$\left( {0,\,4,\,5} \right)$$ with respect to new frame.
A.
$$\left( { - 1,\,2,\,8} \right)$$
B.
$$\left( {4,\,5,\,1} \right)$$
C.
$$\left( {3,\, - 2,\,4} \right)$$
D.
$$\left( {6,\,0,\,8} \right)$$
Answer :
$$\left( { - 1,\,2,\,8} \right)$$
Solution :
In the new frame $$x' = x - {x_1},\,y' = y - {y_1},\,z' = z - {z_1},\,$$
Where $$\left( {{x_1},\,{y_1},\,{z_1}} \right)$$ is shifted origin.
$$ \Rightarrow x' = 0 - 1 = - 1,\,y' = 4 - 2 = 2,\,z' = 5 + 3 = 8$$
Hence, the coordinates of the point with respect to the new coordinates frame are $$\left( { - 1,\,2,\,8} \right).$$
