Question

Write a vector whose initial point is (- 8, - 7) and terminal point is (3, - 1)

A.<-6 ,-11>
B.<-11,-6>
C.<6,11>
D.<11,6>

Answer 1

To find the vector from the initial point (-8, -7) to the terminal point (3, -1), calculate the differences in each coordinate to get the vector <11, 6>, which is answer choice D.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find a vector with an initial point at (-8, -7) and a terminal point at (3, -1), you subtract the coordinates of the initial point from the coordinates of the terminal point. The resultant vector V is given by:

V = (3 - (-8), -1 - (-7))

V = (3 + 8, -1 + 7)

V = (11, 6)

The correct answer is D.<11, 6>.
