use the triangle law of vectors to find vector OR in terms of x and y.
you can find all the required vector in terms of the vertical vector x and the horizontal vector OR.
for example, to go from O to point P,
we need to go two units up: so 2x
and two units left: so -OR
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i'm also getting 2x-y but the book answer says it is 3x-y
OpenStudy (baru):
OR is not y
use the triangle law to find OR in terms of x and y

shift the tail of vector X to the head of vector OR, but keep it paralell to the original X
OpenStudy (baru):
now,
Y=OR+X

because to get to the tip of Y, you have to go along OR and then along X
