1. Problem Description

The problem consists of three parts.
(i) Given points P(3,1)P(-3, 1) and Q(3,4)Q(3, 4), find the vector PQ\vec{PQ}.
(ii) Given point P(3,1)P(-3, 1) and vector PR=(26)\vec{PR} = \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ -6 \end{pmatrix}, find the coordinates of point RR.
(iii) Find the equation of the line PQPQ. The image only has the first two questions.

2. Solution Steps

(i) To find the vector PQ\vec{PQ}, 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) To find the coordinates of point RR, given point P(3,1)P(-3, 1) and 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:
x+3=2    x=23=1x + 3 = 2 \implies x = 2 - 3 = -1
y1=6    y=6+1=5y - 1 = -6 \implies y = -6 + 1 = -5
Thus, the coordinates of point 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)
