Question
Given the vector u defined by the points:(−7,4),(−2,−6)
Solution
The vector u is defined by the difference between the coordinates of the two points.
Step 1: Subtract the x-coordinates of the two points. The x-coordinate of the vector u is -2 - (-7) = 5.
Step 2: Subtract the y-coordinates of the two points. The y-coordinate of the vector u is -6 - 4 = -10.
So, the vector u is (5, -10).
