In?PQR,\(\overline{PQ}\) = 5i - 2j and \(\overline{QR}\) = 4i + 3j. Find \(\overline{RP}\).

  • A. -i - 5j
  • B. -9 - j
  • C. i + 5j
  • D. -9i + j

Correct Answer: A. -i - 5j

Explanation

\(\overline{PQ}\) = 5i - 2j; \(\overline{QR}\) = 4i + 3j

\(\overline{RP}\) = \(\overline{PQ}\) - \(\overline{QR}\)

= 5i - 2j - [4i + 3j] = 5i - 2j - 4i - 3j

= i - 5j
