Concept Component Form of a Vector
The component form of a is written as a whose
x- and
y-values determine the horizontal and vertical change, respectively.
⟨x,y⟩
The horizontal change is given by the difference between the
x-value of the initial point and the
x-value of the terminal point. Similarly, the vertical change is given by the difference between the
y-value of the initial point and the
y-value of the terminal point.
