Example Question #1 : Find A Direction Vector When Given Two Points
Find the vector through the points
and
.
The correct vector is given by the subtraction of the two points: .
Since the subtraction here is component-wise, it is given by the formula: .
This results in the vector .
The vector is also correct as it is a scalar multiple of the vector marked as correct, it is found by reversing the order of the subtraction of the two points.
