5 Slide 5 / 159 Intro to Vectors Drawing A Vector A vector is always drawn with an arrow at the tip indicating the direction, and the length of the line determines the magnitude. Remember displacement is the distance away from your initial position, it does not account for the actual distance you moved

6 Slide 6 / 159 Intro to Vectors Determining magnitude and direction anti-parallel All of these vectors have the same magnitude, but vector B runs anti-parallel therefore it is denoted negative A.
