Question

Given points C (6,1) and D (8,5), find vector CD as an ordered pair.

Answer 1

It's more like you must find the change in x, change in y.

Answer 2

So, what is the change in x?

Answer 3

I have no idea how to solve this. If you know can you please explain.

Answer 4

Yes, I can.
If you are provided with two points, say, \(\rm (x_1, y_1),(x_2 , y_2)\) then the vector will be\[\rm \langle x_2 - x_1,y_2 - y_1\rangle\]

Answer 5

Just like finding the slope.

Answer 6

Do a thing: find the slope and don't simplify it... then I'd tell you what you could do.

Answer 7

Yello!

Answer 8

4/2

Answer 9

Is that right?

Answer 10

Vector CD = < Δx, Δy >

Answer 11

Yes @DustinMHayes
Yup @Chlorophyll That's what I told him ;)

Answer 12

So, if you have the slope = 4/5, then the vector will be <5,4>

Answer 13

If the slope is 4/2, then what will the vector be?

Answer 14

@DustinMHayes Where are you?
Be careful with the order of coordination!

Answer 15

<5,4> is the answer then?

Answer 16

The answer is <2,4>
