Question

1. Find the vector represented by the directed line segment drawn from the point (3,5) to point B(-1,2). Also, find it's magnitude.

Your Answer:​

Answer 1

Magnitude is 5

Explanation:

Using the formula for calculating the distance between two points expressed as:

D = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

Given the coordinates (3,5) and (-1,2)

D = √(2-5)²+(-1-3)²

D = √(-3)²+(-4)²

D = √9+16

D = √25

D = 5

Hence the magnitude is 5
