I really have no clue how to even attempt this problem since I haven't ever been given such a problem. Could I get any help please?

Welcome to the PF.

It probably means that the vector stretches -3 units in the x direction, and +2 units in the y direction. You can draw infinitely many vectors with those dimensions, each one starting at a different (x,y) point on the graph.

Can you give several ordered pairs of (x,y) points that have that length vector between them? Each answer should have a starting (x,y) point and an ending (x,y) point.
