In general, rotation of a vector v s t a r t = [ x y z ] {\displaystyle \scriptstyle \mathbf {v} _{\mathrm {start} }={\begin{bmatrix}x&y&z\end{bmatrix}}} about an arbitrary unit-vector n = [ u v w ] {\displaystyle \scriptstyle \mathbf {n} ={\begin{bmatrix}u&v&w\end{bmatrix}}} gives (1, 2):
In this particular case, we thus expect:
