The statements above can be expressed more mathematically. Let a rotation about the origin O by an angle be
denoted as Rot(). Let a reection about a line L through
the origin which makes an angle with the x-axis be denoted as Ref(). Let these rotations and reections operate on all points on the plane, and let these points be
represented by position vectors. Then a rotation can be
represented as a matrix,
[
Rot() =
cos
sin

With these denitions of coordinate rotation and reection, the following four equations are true:
