Question

What is the component form of AB with the initial point A(8,-2) and the terminal point B(-2,-2)? Possible solutions: <-10,0> <-9,-1> <-1,-8> <-9,5>

Answer 1

<-10,0>

Explanation:

For thye horizontal component of the vector we do xf - xi = -2 - 8 = -10

for the vertical component of the vector, we do: yf - yi = -2 - (-2) = -2 + 2 = 0

Therefore the component form of the vector is: <-10,0>
