Vocaloid:

in this particular case, because your vector is at the origin, you can simply write the coordinates of point Q in angle brackets like this <x-coordinate, y-coordinate> as your component form

Foreverangel:

So <-6,0>? I think

Vocaloid:

to be more general: 1. how many units to the left or right the vector goes from the start point (negative sign for left, positive sign for right) 2. how many units up or down the vector goes (negative sign for down, positive sign for up)

Vocaloid:

notice that from P to Q, the vector goes 6 units left, 3 units up, so <-6,3>

Foreverangel:

Oh dang I feel dumb lol that makes more sense thank you
