Given a vector from (4,1) to (5,5), express the vector in component form. Assume each grid box is 1x1 unit.
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The starting point of the vector is (4,1)
. The ending point of the vector is (5,5)
3. Each box in the graph is1 unit by1 unit in size
STEP 2
The component form of a vector is given by the difference in the x-coordinates and the difference in the y-coordinates of the ending and starting points. This can be written as
STEP 3
Now, plug in the given values for the starting and ending points to calculate the vector in component form.
STEP 4
Calculate the difference in the x-coordinates and the y-coordinates.
The vector in component form is (1,4).
