2-Vector Subtraction Explained
Subtracting two vectors involves finding a new vector that represents the difference between the two. Given vectors A and B, the subtraction A – B is performed as follows:
- Vector A: ⟨Ax, Ay⟩
- Vector B: ⟨Bx, By⟩
- Subtract the X-components: Ax – Bx = Resultx
- Subtract the Y-components: Ay – By = Resulty
The resultant vector after subtraction will be: ⟨Resultx, Resulty⟩.
