LINEAR FORM
LINEAR FORM
The linear form, or linear combination, of a vector uses the sum of multiples of the standard unit vectors. For example, if you have a vector that goes to the right 9 units, that would be represented as 9i. If you move from the terminal point up 4 units, that would be represented as 4j. Adding these vectors together write the vector in linear form.
