Question

Vector u has initial point (-6, -1) and terminal point (-5, 3). Write u in component form.

Answer 1

\[u = <x,y>\] is a vector in component form I believe.
The x-component will be difference of the x values of the terminal and initial points.
The y-component will be the difference of the y values of the terminal and initial points.

Answer 2

Would seeing my option help more?

Answer 3

It's <-11,2>

Answer 4

Well, not really. I'm explaining how to do it.

Answer 5

I just had to add the two x's y's values, right?

Answer 6

\[u = <-5 - (-6) , 3 - (-1)>\]

Answer 7

No you're not adding them. You're find the difference between them, which will be the vertical component of the vector, u.

Answer 8

<1,4> Okay, thank you.
