He chooses x=(v-u)/2 and the y= from the motivations behind the transformation. It is a personal decision. By transforming into this new coordinate system, perhaps the problem can be solved easier or visually more appealing for an intuitive understanding. kind regards, Ian Gregory, Sydney.
@nakeder no he's specified in the x,y that theta only goes to pi/4. in general theta does vary between 0 and pi/2 but here he's given an example where only the region where theta is less than pi/4 is included.

How did you get the x=(v-u)/2 and the y= equations?

One mistake. In the change of variables from polar to x and y, the angle theta varies from zero to pi/2 and not pi/4.
