1. Problem Description

We are given the coordinates of point B as (2,7)(2, 7) and the vector AB=(46)\vec{AB} = \begin{pmatrix} -4 \\ 6 \end{pmatrix}. We need to find the coordinates of point A.

2. Solution Steps

Let the coordinates of point A be (x,y)(x, y).
We know that AB=(2x7y)\vec{AB} = \begin{pmatrix} 2-x \\ 7-y \end{pmatrix}.
We are given that AB=(46)\vec{AB} = \begin{pmatrix} -4 \\ 6 \end{pmatrix}.
Therefore, we have the following equations:
2x=42 - x = -4
7y=67 - y = 6
Solving for xx:
2x=42 - x = -4
x=2+4x = 2 + 4
x=6x = 6
Solving for yy:
7y=67 - y = 6
y=76y = 7 - 6
y=1y = 1
Therefore, the coordinates of point A are (6,1)(6, 1).

3. Final Answer

The coordinates of point A are (6,1)(6, 1).
