Vector - basic operations

There are given points A [-9; -2] B [2; 16] C [16; -2] and D [12; 18]

a. Determine the coordinates of the vectors u=AB v=CD s=DB
b. Calculate the sum of the vectors u + v
c. Calculate difference of vectors u-v
d. Determine the coordinates of the vector w = -7.u


Correct result:

ux =  11
uy =  18
vx =  -4
vy =  20
sx =  10
sy =  2
(u+v)x =  7
(u+v)y =  38
(u-v)x =  15
(u-v)y =  -2
wx =  -77
wy =  -126

Solution:

u=(2−(−9);16−(−2))=(11;18)
uy=16−(−2)=18
s=(12−(2);18−(16))=(10;2)
vy=18−(−2)=20
sx=12−(2)=10
sy=18−(16)=2
u+v=(11+(−4);18+(20))=(7;38)
(u+v)y=18+(20)=38
u−v=(11−(−4);18−(20))=(15;−2)
(u−v)y=18−(20)=−2
w=−7.u=(−7⋅(11);−7⋅(18))=(−77;−126)
wy=−7⋅ (18)=−126
