Note that when OP rotates to OP' by an angle ALPHA, so do X (base of triangle), and Y.
So we can find using geometry the transformation rules for rotation
(that is how the coordinates of P' relate to the coordinates of P):
X'= X COS (ALPHA) - Y SIN (ALPHA)
Y'= X SIN (ALPHA) + Y COS (ALPHA)
or if we want to write it as:
X'= A X + B Y
Y'= C X + D Y
then:
A=COS (ALPHA)
B=-SIN (ALPHA)
C=+SIN (ALPHA)
D=COS (ALPHA)
Note that A=D, B=-C
