Question 4 • NC-Math 4 CR
Let u = ⟨–2, –3⟩ and v = ⟨3, –1⟩. Which graph shows u – v?
Answer
A
On a coordinate plane, vector v has origin (0, 0) and terminal point (3, negative 1), vector u has origin (0, 0) and terminal point (negative 2, negative 3), and vector u minus v has origin (0, 0) and terminal point (negative 5, negative 2).
B
On a coordinate plane, vector v has origin (0, 0) and terminal point (3, negative 1), vector u has origin (0, 0) and terminal point (negative 2, negative 3), and vector u minus v has origin (0, 0) and terminal point (negative 1, 4).
C
On a coordinate plane, vector v has origin (0, 0) and terminal point (3, negative 1), vector u has origin (0, 0) and terminal point (negative 2, negative 3), and vector u minus v has origin (0, 0) and terminal point (5, 2).
D
On a coordinate plane, vector v has origin (0, 0) and terminal point (3, negative 1), vector u has origin (0, 0) and terminal point (negative 2, negative 3), and vector u minus v has origin (0, 0) and terminal point (1, negative 4).
