Answer:

The component form will be:

  • (x, y) = (-5, -11)

Explanation:

We need to find the component form of the vector that translates P(4,5) to P'(-1,-6).

It can be written as:

P(4, 5) → P'(4+x, -6+y) = P'(-1,-6)

Calculating 'x'

4 + x = -1

x = -1 - 4

x = -5

Calculatng 'y'

5 + y = -6

y = -6 - 5

y = -11

Thus, the component form will be:

  • (x, y) = (-5, -11)
