Question

anyone help me with this I think its B but im not quite sure
1. what is the component form of the vector shown?
A. (6,8)
B. ( 8,6)
C. (10,4)
D. (4,10)

Answer 1

is there a pic

Answer 2

i think its B
but i recommend @iPwnBunnies

Answer 3

It's sorta like finding slope. We need to know the x-component and y-component of the vector.

Answer 4

For this case, a vector is in form (X,Y)
Which will be (difference in x, difference in y)

Answer 5

im still confused like do you do the whole like slope intercept form or what :P

Answer 6

No, we're just finding the x and y components of the vector made by 2 points.

Answer 7

And a vector is written as (X,Y), which will be the distance in the x-direction and the distance in the y-direction.

Answer 8

Is the vector going from (4,2) to (12,8) or the other way around?

Answer 9

...Idk which direction is it, but if it's going from (4,2) to (12,8)..
The vector will be <12-4, 8-2>
v = <8,6>

Answer 10

oh okay so it would end up being (8,6) those are the coordinates correct ?

Answer 11

...Good luck.
