Need help with this Math exercise please
Greetings everyone, I am new to the site. I have this problem I need to program in C++:
Q:Calculate the coordinate of the point (2,3,1) after a rotation through 90deg about the x-axis.
Here is my attempt at it but I am not 100% certain this is correct, hence why I'm posting this thread:
I multiplied the 3x3 Matrix (1 0 0, 0 0 -1, 0 1 0) by the coordinates (2, 3, 1) and I obtained the following resultant matrix: [2, -1, 3]
Is my work correct? If not, please point out my mistake and give me a hint if possible, thank you.

Looks correct.
Now you just need to write a C++ program to this.
Tip: Instead of writing an algorithm to do matrix multiplication, just get the expression for each point.

Looks to be right.
