Short Answer

Expert verified

The vector with initial pointP(3,1)and terminal pointQ1,-2in component form is-2,-3.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Identifying the coordinates of the points.

Using Component form formula x1,y1,x2,y2=x2-x1,y2-y1

02

Step 2. Determining the component form.

The component form of the vector is given as

=1-3,-2-1

=-2,-3
