What you'll learn
- 1
Imagine you're walking from your desk to the door. A vector tells you how many steps to take AND which direction to go!
- 2
What TWO things does a vector tell you?
- 3
Drag the arrow to show a vector that moves 4 steps right and 2 steps up.
- 4
Let's add two vectors together: (3, 2) + (1, 4)
- 5
What is (2, 5) + (3, 1)?
- 6
Use the number line to add the vectors: start at (0,0), move 2 right and 3 up, then 1 right and 1 up. Where do you end?
- 7
A vector (4, -2) means you move 4 steps right and 2 steps…?
