Question

Convert vector RS to vector component form giver R(-5,1) and S(4,7)A) (81,36)B) (9,6)C) (-1,8)D) (-9,-6)

Answer 1

SOLUTION:

Given;

$R(-5,1),S(4,7)$

The component form of RS is;

$\begin{gathered} RS=<(x_2-x_1),(y_2-y_1)> \\ \\ x_1=-5,y_1=1,x_2=4,y_2=7 \end{gathered}$

Thus;

$\begin{gathered} RS=<(4-(-5)),(7-1)> \\ \\ RS=<(9,6) \end{gathered}$

CORRECT OPTION: B
