Parallel axes. — Ifthe new axes are parallel to the old, and the coordinates of the new origin, re-ferred to the old axes, are(#0, y0, 20), the equationsof transformation areeasily seen (see Fig. 8). x to be ac = x0 + ocf V = 2/o + V, [12] Z = Z0 + Z . 10. Transformation of coordinates from one set of rec-tangular axes to another which has the same origin. — Let(«ii fiv Yj), («2, £2, 72), and («3, /33, y3) be the directionangles of OX\ OY\ andOZ with respect to theoriginal axes. The coor-dinates (#, y, 2) of anypoint P are the projec-tions of OP on OX, OF,and OZ. But the brokenline made up of x\ y!, andz extends from 0 to P,and will therefore havethe same projections on Ythe axes as OP. Hence(by Art. 5)
