How do you find the coordinates of point A using vector AB?

• Subtract vector AB from the coordinates of B.

• Divide vector AB by the coordinates of B.

• Multiply vector AB by the coordinates of B.

• Add vector AB to the coordinates of B.

What is the final coordinate of point C after applying vector AC to point A?

• (15, 14)

• (11, 10)

• (13, 12)

• (10, 11)

What is the purpose of Part B in the problem?

• To determine the midpoint of line BE.

• To prove that points A, B, and E are collinear.
