Find the component form of vector $\mathbf { v }$ with initial point $( - 5,1 )$ and terminal point $( - 3 , - 2 )$.
A) $\mathbf { v } = \langle 2,3 \rangle$
B) $\mathbf { v } = \langle - 3,4 \rangle$
C) $\mathbf { v } = \langle 2 , - 3 \rangle$
D) $\mathbf { v } = \langle 3,2 \rangle$
E) $\mathbf { v } = \langle - 6 , - 1 \rangle$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The component form of a vector is found by subtracting the coordinates of the initial point from the coordinates of the terminal point, thus $\mathbf { v } = \langle - 3 - ( - 5 ), - 2 - 1 \rangle = \langle 2, - 3 \rangle$.
