x_P =s cos θ  y_P =s sin θ  y_P =f(x_P )  x_Q =s cos ((π/3)+θ)=(1/2)(s cos θ−(√3) s sin θ)  x_P −(√3) y_P =2x_Q   y_Q =s sin ((π/3)+θ)=(1/2)((√3) s cos θ+s sin θ)  ⇒(√3) x_P +y_P =2y_Q   ⇒y_P =((−(√3) x_P +y_P )/2)  ⇒x_P =((x_Q +(√3)y_Q )/2)  locus of point Q:  ((−(√3) x_P +y_P )/2)=f(((x_Q +(√3)y_Q )/2))  or  ((−(√3) x+y)/2)=f(((x+(√3)y)/2))    if locus of P is a segment y=ax+b,  then the locus of Q is  ((−(√3) x+y)/2)=a×((x+(√3)y)/2)+b  ⇒(a+(√3))x+(a(√3)−1)y+2b=0  this is also a segment.   (same segment rotated by 60° about O)    similarly we can see: if the locus of  P is a circle, then the locus of Q is  also a circle.  (same circle rotated by 60° about O)

generally:  locus of point Q is the locus of point  P rotated by 60° about point O.
