A vector is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction.
Vectors in the plane can be represented by arrows.
The length of the arrow represents the magnitude of the vector.
The arrowhead indicates the direction of the vector.

If a vector v has the same magnitude and the same direction as the directed line segment PQ, then we write
v = PQ
The magnitude of the directed line segment PQ is the distance from point P to the point Q.
The direction of PQ is from P to Q.

The vector v whose magnitude is 0 is called the zero vector, 0.
Two vectors v and w are equal, written
v wif they have the same magnitude and direction.

Vector addition is commutative.
Vector addition is associative.
v + w = w + v
v + (u + w) = (v + u) + w
v + 0 = 0 + v =v
v + (-v) = 0

An algebraic vector v is represented as
v = < a, b >
where a and b are real numbers (scalars) called the components of the vector v.

If v = < a, b > is an algebraic vector with initial point at the origin O and terminal point P = (a, b), then v is called a position vector.

Let i denote a unit vector whose direction is along the positive x-axis; let j denote a unit vector whose direction is along the positive y-axis. Any vector v = < a, b > can be written using the unit vectors i and j as follows:
