Vector Explanations with Rico Gathers

Today we are going to talk about Vectors.

First what's a vector?
 -a vector is a slope. It contains an x-component along with an Y-component.

There are many ways to find vectors. Here's two of the more simple ones. Although all are pretty easy.

1) Vector Addition : V+U= <a,b> + <c,d> = <a+c,b+d>

        -Ex. (1,9) + (4,5)
        
             (1+4,9+5) = <5,14>

2) Vector Subtraction : V-U= <a,b> - <c,d> = <a-c,b-d>


            -Ex. (1,9) - (4,5)
        
             (1-4,9-5) = <-3,4>

That's our lesson for today with Rico Gathers ;-).
