Question

Select the matrix that represents the vector.​

Answer 1

Answer:  Choice D

Explanation:

Start at the arrow tip. Move vertically until reaching the x axis. You'll arrive at x = 7 which is the x component of the vector.

Go back to the arrow tip. This time move horizontally until reaching the y axis, so you should arrive at y = -6

Therefore the vector is $\begin{bmatrix}7\\-6\end{bmatrix}$ which is in a column vector format. A row vector would have the numbers listed horizontally.

Put another way, the arrow tip is at the point location of (7,-6). This leads directly to the column vector mentioned in the previous paragraph.
