Vectors: Introduction (1)
Recall a VECTOR is a quantity with both MAGNITUDE and DIRECTION.
The applet below illustrates how we GEOMETRICALLY represent a vector.
Interact with this applet for a few minutes.
Then, complete the investigation questions you received at the beginning of class.


Distance from a point to a line
Change the equation of the line and the location of the point P by dragging the points.


The distance from the point P is defined to be the perpendicular distance.
