To eliminate the x'y-term, we need to find the angle of rotation that satisfies the equation:

tan(2θ) = (2B) / (A - C)

where A = 39, B = -12, and C = 46.

First, calculate the angle of rotation:

tan(2θ) = (-48) / (39 - 46)
tan(2θ) = (-48) / (-7)
tan(2θ) = 48 / 7
2θ = atan(48/7)
θ = atan(48/7) / 2

θ ≈ 24.92 degrees

Now, we can write the rotation formulas:

x = x' * cos(θ) - y' * sin(θ)
y = x' * sin(θ) + y' * cos(θ)

Therefore, the appropriate rotation formulas are:

x = x' * cos(24.92°) - y' * sin(24.92°)
y = x' * sin(24.92°) + y' * cos(24.92°)
