Answer: displacement

Step-by-step explanation:

A quantity that has both magnitude as well as direction is known as vector quantity.

The shortest distance between any two points is a vector quantity and it is named as displacement.

It has both magnitude and direction. It can be zero if starting and ending points are same.

Hence, the vector quantity that describes the shortest path between two points : displacement

solve systems of equation. equation number 1: 9 x squared + 4 y squared equals 144. equation 2: x squared plus y squared equals

grigory [225]

$9x^{2} + 4y^{2} =144$
$x^{2} + y^{2}=24$

$9x^{2} + 4y^{2} =144$
$4x^{2} + 4y^{2}=96$
by the difference
5 $x^{2}$ =48
so x= $\sqrt{\frac{48}{5}}$ or x=- $\sqrt{\frac{48}{5}}$
and $y^{2}$ =24- $\frac{48}{5}$
then y= $\sqrt{\frac{72}{5}}$ or - $\sqrt{\frac{48}{5}}$
