Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To work with a vector, we need to be able to find its magnitude and its direction. We find its magnitude using the Pythagorean Theorem or the distance formula, and we find its direction using the inverse tangent function. Given a position vector →v=⟨a,b⟩,the magnitude is found by |v|=√a2+b2
