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

Question

ipwnbunnies · Answer

$$u = <x,y>$$ 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.

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

ipwnbunnies · Answer

$$u = <-5 - (-6) , 3 - (-1)>$$

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