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⟩.
