Question

Find the negative of the given vector.

$-6\hat{i}+10\hat{j}$

• A. $6\hat{i}+10\hat{j}$
• B. $6\hat{i}-10\hat{j}$
• C. $-6\hat{i}-10\hat{j}$
• D. Both a and b

Answer 1

The correct option is B

$6\hat{i}-10\hat{j}$

Let's represent the given vector's component in diagrammatic form.

Now to get negative let's find the opposite of these components

So the vector is $6\hat{i}-10\hat{j}$

so the negative of a vector is achieved by writing the negative of the components of the given vector.
