Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to determine what the components of this vector has, we need to remember how to find components of a vector. It's simply the difference between the terminal point and initial point. The first step is to write an equation for what our "new" x and y are. 

Now lets identify what these values are.

To write this in component form, we need to put our , and  into .
