Visualization: Vector Subtraction

In this visualization, we will see how one vector can be subtracted from another in 2D, using both graphical and algebraic methods.

\(-15\) \(15\)

Vector A Component X = 3

\[\overset{\rightharpoonup}{A} = x\overset{\rightharpoonup}{i} + y\overset{\rightharpoonup}{j}\]

\(-6\) \(6\)

Vector A Component Y = 3

\(-15\) \(15\)

Vector B Component X = 3

\[\overset{\rightharpoonup}{B} = x\overset{\rightharpoonup}{i} + y\overset{\rightharpoonup}{j}\]

\(-6\) \(6\)

Vector B Component Y = 3

\[\overset{\rightharpoonup}{V} = x\overset{\rightharpoonup}{i} + y\overset{\rightharpoonup}{j}\]
