1

Find the vector where its initial point is and its terminal point is .

Explanation

We need to subtract the -coordinate and the -coordinates to solve for a vector when given its initial and terminal coordinates:

Initial pt:

Terminal pt:

2

Find the vector where its initial point is and its terminal point is .

$\left \langle3,8\right \rangle$

$\left \langle1,8\right \rangle$

$\left \langle3,2\right \rangle$

$\left \langle1,2\right \rangle$

Explanation

We need to subtract the -coordinate and the -coordinate to solve for a vector when given its initial and terminal coordinates:

Initial pt:

Terminal pt:

Vector: $\left \langle 2-(-1),3-(-5)\right \rangle$

Vector: $\left \langle3,8\right \rangle$
