Find the components along the coordinate axes of the position vector of each of the following points: `S(4,-3)`

Explanation

Point `S=(4,-3)`


Position vector `\vec(OS)=4 \hat{i}-3 \hat{j}`


Component along `x`-axis `=(\vec(OS) \cdot \hat{\i}) \hat{i}=4 \hat{1}`


Component along `\y`-\axis=`(\vec(OS)\cdot \hat{\{j}}) \hat{\{j}}=-3 \hat{\{j}}`
