The vector v has initial position P and terminal point Q. Write v in the form ai + bj; that is, find its position vector.
-P = (2, -6); Q = (-3, 6)
A) v = -5i + 12j
B) v = 4i + 3j
C) v = 12i - 5j
D) v = 3i + 4j

The vector $v$ from point $P$ to point $Q$ is found by subtracting the coordinates of $P$ from $Q$, resulting in $(-3 - 2)i + (6 - (-6))j = -5i + 12j$.

The Vector V Has Initial Position P and Terminal Point
