1. Problem Description

We are given three points P(3,1)P(-3, 1), Q(3,4)Q(3, 4), and RR in a Cartesian plane.
(i) We need to find the vector PQ\vec{PQ}.
(ii) We are given that PR=(26)\vec{PR} = \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ -6 \end{pmatrix}, and we need to find the coordinates of point RR.

2. Solution Steps

(i) To find the vector PQ\vec{PQ}, we subtract the coordinates of point PP from the coordinates of point QQ:
PQ=(34)(31)=(3(3)41)=(63) \vec{PQ} = \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ 4 \end{pmatrix} - \begin{pmatrix} -3 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 3 - (-3) \\ 4 - 1 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 6 \\ 3 \end{pmatrix}
(ii) We are given that PR=(26)\vec{PR} = \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ -6 \end{pmatrix}. Let the coordinates of RR be (x,y)(x, y). Then
PR=(xy)(31)=(x+3y1) \vec{PR} = \begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix} - \begin{pmatrix} -3 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} x + 3 \\ y - 1 \end{pmatrix}
Since PR=(26)\vec{PR} = \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ -6 \end{pmatrix}, we have
(x+3y1)=(26) \begin{pmatrix} x + 3 \\ y - 1 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ -6 \end{pmatrix}
Equating the components, we get
x+3=2    x=23=1 x + 3 = 2 \implies x = 2 - 3 = -1
y1=6    y=6+1=5 y - 1 = -6 \implies y = -6 + 1 = -5
So, the coordinates of RR are (1,5)(-1, -5).

3. Final Answer

(i) PQ=(63)\vec{PQ} = \begin{pmatrix} 6 \\ 3 \end{pmatrix}
(ii) R=(1,5)R = (-1, -5)
