Vectors (higher)
Use vectors to prove geometric results including collinearity and ratios of line segments
What you'll learn
- 1
Imagine you're walking from your house to the park. You walk 3 steps east, then 4 steps north. That journey is a vector!
- 2
What two things does a vector always have?
- 3
Here's a vector drawn on a grid. It goes 2 right and 3 up. That's written as (2, 3).
- 4
Drag the arrow to show the vector (4, 1) — 4 right and 1 up.
- 5
Let's add two vectors together: (2, 3) + (1, 4).
- 6
Now try adding (3, 2) + (2, 5) — move the arrow to show the answer.
- 7
What is (1, 5) + (3, 2)?
