On a Cartesian plane, draw a vector diagram and calculate the displacement from (0, 3) to (7, -3)

Question

amistre64 · Answer

move it so one end is at 0,0 and find the length

amistre64 · Answer

(0,3)   (7,-3)
   -3       -3
------------
(0,0)   (7,-6)

so this is a vector <7,-6>

amistre64 · Answer

square add sqrt for length

How would I draw the vectors diagram though?

amistre64 · Answer

plot the 2 points on an xy plane and draw an arrow between them

amistre64 · Answer

since vectors are movable; i just moved it all down so that it started as 0,0  and becmae a position vector

amistre64 · Answer

if there are more points along the way that you have not shared; then its kinda hard to include them; but the displacement is the same

anonymous · Answer

Is the graph, not to scale? are those points suppose to be at 7, -6?
