Examples

$(1, 2)$ , $(7, 9)$

Step 1

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

$Q - P = (7 i + 9 j) - (1 i + 2 j)$

Step 2

Step 2.1

Multiply $i$ by $1$ .

$7 i + 9 j - (i + 2 j)$

Step 2.2

Apply the distributive property.

$7 i + 9 j - i - (2 j)$

Step 2.3

Multiply $2$ by $- 1$ .

$7 i + 9 j - i - 2 j$

Step 3

Simplify by adding terms.
