$(- 4, 8)$ , $(- 2, 5)$

Step 1

To find the position vector, subtract the initial point vector $P$ from the terminal point vector $Q$ .

$Q - P = (- 2 i + 5 j) - (- 4 i + 8 j)$

Step 2.1

Apply the distributive property.

$- 2 i + 5 j - (- 4 i) - (8 j)$

Step 2.2

Multiply $- 4$ by $- 1$ .

$- 2 i + 5 j + 4 i - (8 j)$

Step 2.3

Multiply $8$ by $- 1$ .

$- 2 i + 5 j + 4 i - 8 j$

Step 3

Simplify by adding terms.
