Answer 4

this is a system to represent a point in space. how can we achieve this?

Answer 5

1. divide the 2D space into small identical squares from a reference point (Cartesian)
2. divide the space into concentric circles about a reference (Polar)

Answer 6

but then the squares would need directions. so, lets look at the compass (E, W, N, S)

Answer 7

what do you observe?
East and West are the same thing but opposite
and similarly,
North and south. Like yin and yang.

Answer 8

kapeesh?

Answer 9

so, they said,
EW direction can be said as one unit.. with positive and negative parts
and same goes for the NS

Answer 10

so, any point in the 2D space can now be represented by saying, go "X" steps to right or left and "Y" steps north or south
then you have the seeds for the concepts of vectors.
