Find the scalar and vector components of the vector with initial point \[(2,1)\] and terminal point \[(-5,7)\].
Find the scalar and vector components of the vector with initial point \[(2,1)\] and terminal point \[(-5,7)\].

The scalar and vector components are:

The vector with initial point P \[(2,1)\] and terminal point Q \[(-5,7)\]  can be shown as,

\[-7\widehat{i}\] and  \[6\widehat{j}\] Thus, the required scalar components are –7 and 6 while the vector components are
