Example Questions
Example Question #1 : Find A Direction Vector When Given Two Points
Find the directional vector of if points A and B are
and
, respectively.
To find vector , the point A is the terminal point and point B is the starting point.
The directional vector can be determined by subtracting the start from the terminal point.
Example Question #2 : Find A Direction Vector When Given Two Points
Find the vector through the points
and
.
The correct vector is given by the subtraction of the two points: .
Since the subtraction here is component-wise, it is given by the formula: .
This results in the vector .
The vector is also correct as it is a scalar multiple of the vector marked as correct, it is found by reversing the order of the subtraction of the two points.
Example Question #1 : Find A Direction Vector When Given Two Points
Find the vector that has the initial point and the terminal point
.
To find the directional vector, subtract the coordinates of the initial point from the coordinates of the terminal point.
Example Question #1 : Find A Direction Vector When Given Two Points
Find the direction vector with an initial point of and a terminal point
.
To find the directional vector, subtract the coordinates of the initial point from the coordinates of the terminal point.
Example Question #5 : Find A Direction Vector When Given Two Points
Find if
and
.
To find the direction vector going from to
, subtract the x and y-coordinates of
from
.
Example Question #6 : Find A Direction Vector When Given Two Points
Find if
and
.
To find the direction vector from to
, subtract the x- and y-coordinates of
from
.
Example Question #1 : Find A Direction Vector When Given Two Points
