Example Question #11 : Vector & Matrix Quantities

Vector , has an initial point of , and a terminal point of . What is the slope of vector ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to figure out slope, we need to remember how to find slope. Slope can be found be doing rise over run, or simply the change in  coordinates over the change in  coordinates. In equation form it looks like 

, where  are the  coordinates, and  are the  coordinates.

For this example, we will let .
