Why Does the X Component Disagree in Problem B?

Analekt · Oct 6, 2012

Pls help with number "B". The X component doesn't agree!

Ignore the data entered in the fields for X,Y(incorrect). I later figured Y component is "-1", but have no idea why X didn't work out.

Thx a lot!

Screenshot of a homework problem with a coordinate graph showing point A at x = -3 on the x-axis and point B at y = 2 on the y-axis, with x and y axes in meters, followed by two-part question text and answer fields.

Show your 1-2-3-4 steps as per the hint.

Yep; if you don't show us the reasoning we cannot help except to do the problem for you, and that would be against the rules.
