Points A (2; 3) and B (-1; 2) are given. Specify the coordinates of the vector.

Let’s remember that in such problems under the expression “coordinates of a vector” we mean to write the position of a point equal to this vector, but which goes out from the origin.

Thus, if we assume that the vector goes from point A to point B, then we just need to reduce point A to coordinates (0; 0) A change point b in accordance with changes in point A.

It means that, for example, the first action is from the “x” coordinate of point A, we subtract 2 so that we get 0, but that the vector does not change from the “x” coordinate of point B, we also subtract 2 and get -3, so we will transfer it in parallel, and it won’t change.

Now we subtract 3 from the “y” coordinate and get in the coordinate of the point B -1.

Answer: (-3, -1).
