Question
Find a vector a with representation given by the directed line segment $ \vec{AB} $. Draw $ \vec{AB} $ and the equivalent representation starting at the origin.$ A (-5, -1), B (-3, 3) $
Step 1
The vector $\vec{AB}$ is given by the coordinates of B subtracted from the coordinates of A. So, we have: $$ \vec{AB} = B - A = (-3, 3) - (-5, -1) = (-3+5, 3+1) = (2, 4) $$ Show more…
