The correct Answer is:
To find the displacement vector from point A to point B given their coordinates, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the coordinates of points A and B - Point A has coordinates \( A(0, 3, -1) \) - Point B has coordinates \( B(-2, 6, 4) \) ### Step 2: Write the formula for the displacement vector The displacement vector \( \vec{AB} \) from point A to point B can be calculated using the formula: \[ \vec{AB} = \vec{B} - \vec{A} \] This means we subtract the coordinates of point A from the coordinates of point B. ### Step 3: Perform the subtraction for each coordinate Now, we will subtract the coordinates of A from B: - For the x-coordinate: \[ x_B - x_A = -2 - 0 = -2 \] - For the y-coordinate: \[ y_B - y_A = 6 - 3 = 3 \] - For the z-coordinate: \[ z_B - z_A = 4 - (-1) = 4 + 1 = 5 \] ### Step 4: Write the displacement vector Now we can write the displacement vector \( \vec{AB} \): \[ \vec{AB} = (-2, 3, 5) \] ### Final Answer The displacement vector from point A to point B is: \[ \vec{AB} = (-2, 3, 5) \]
