Answer:

(2, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • R = (-4, 7)
  • S = (-2, 12)

To find the components of [tex]\overrightarrow{RS}[/tex] we need to go from R to O and then O to S.  Remember that [tex]\overrightarrow{RO}[/tex] is the negative of [tex]\overrightarrow{OR}[/tex].  Therefore:

[tex]\begin{aligned} \displaystyle \overrightarrow{RS} & =\overrightarrow{RO}+\overrightarrow{OS}\\& = \overrightarrow{OS}-\overrightarrow{OR}\\& =\binom{-2}{12}-\binom{-4}{7}\\& =\binom{2}{5}\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, the component form (x, y) of the vector [tex]\overrightarrow{RS}[/tex] is (2, 5)
