Using linear transformation reflection to find rotation

Homework Statement


Let [itex]T1[/itex] be the reflection about the line [itex]−4x−1y=0[/itex] and [itex]T2[/itex] be the reflection about the line [itex]4x−5y=0[/itex] in the euclidean plane.

The standard matrix of [itex]T1 \circ T2[/itex] is what?

Thus [itex]T1 \circ T2[/itex] is a counterclockwise rotation about the origin by an angle of how many radians?


Homework Equations



[itex]\frac{1}{1+m^2}\begin{pmatrix}<br /> 1-m^2 & 2m\\<br /> 2m & m^2-1<br /> \end{pmatrix}[/itex]


The Attempt at a Solution



I've used the relevant equation above and found that [itex]T1 \circ T2 = \begin{pmatrix}<br /> \frac{-455}{697} & \frac{-528}{697}\\<br /> \frac{-455}{697} & \frac{-455}{697}\end{pmatrix}[/itex] and had this verified, but I have no idea how to relate this into an amount of radians rotated.

hi 1up20x6! :smile:

should be [itex]\begin{pmatrix}<br /> \cos & \sin\\<br /> -\sin & \cos\end{pmatrix}[/itex] :wink:
