The following discussion is limited to vectors in a two\u2010dimensional coordinate plane, although the concepts can be extended to higher dimensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If vector  is shifted so that its initial point is at the origin of the rectangular coordinate plane, it is said to be in standard position<\/strong>. If vector  is equal to vector  and has its initial point at the origin, it is said to be the standard vector for . Other names for the standard vector include radius vector and position vector (Figure  1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vector  is the standard vector for all vectors in the plane with the same direction and magnitude as . In order to find the standard vector for a geometric vector in the coordinate plane, only the coordinates of point P<\/em> must be found because point 0<\/em> is at the origin. If the coordinates of point A are ( x<\/em> a<\/sub>, y<\/em> a<\/sub> )<\/em> and the coordinates of point B<\/em> are ( x<\/em> b<\/sub>, y<\/em> b<\/sub>), then the coordinates of point P are ( x<\/em> b<\/sub> \u2212 x<\/em> a<\/sub>, y<\/em> ab<\/sub> \u2212 y<\/em> a<\/sub>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example 1:<\/strong> If the endpoints of a vector  have coordinates of A<\/em>(\u22122, \u22127) and B (3, 2), then what are the coordinates of point P<\/em> such that  is a standard vector and  =  (see Figure  2)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
