Answer 8

The position vector \(\vec{OS}\) is the vector, that when staring from the origin points to the point \(S\)

Answer 9

Let H be the mid point of O
Let G be the point dividing OR in the ratio 3/4
Draw a parallel from H to OR
Draw a parallel from G to AB
S is the intersection of these two lines
I will draw a picture and attach it later
