Answer:

We can easily find out the beginning point of the line by using dot representation.

When it comes to position vector, it expresses the exact position of certain object from the starting point of the coordinate system.

The vector is a straight line that has a certain end which is fixed to its body.

The other end is linked with a moving point that tells an accurate position of that specific point.
