Vector Components and Properties

The video tutorial explains how to sketch vector AB in a plane, starting with its initial and terminal points. It covers finding the component form of the vector and sketching its equivalent position vector in standard position. The tutorial also demonstrates using an online graphing tool to plot vector PQ and its equivalent. The process involves plotting points, calculating components, and using graphing tools to visualize vectors.

What are the initial and terminal points of vector AB?

• Initial: (3, -2), Terminal: (-1, 4)

• Initial: (2, 4), Terminal: (-2, -3)

• Initial: (-1, 4), Terminal: (3, -2)

• Initial: (0, 0), Terminal: (4, -6)
