A vector can be represented by a line segment labelled with an arrow. A vector between two points A and B is described as: \(\overrightarrow{AB}\), \(\mathbf{a}\) or \(\underline{a}\). The vector ...

(In contrast a scalar quantity has magnitude only - eg, the numbers 1, 2 ... How would you write the path in vectors using only the vectors \(\overrightarrow {XY}\) and \(\overrightarrow {ZY}\)?
