2. 12C Vectors in the Plane
In transformation geometry, translating a point a units in the x-direction and b units in the y-direction can be achieved using the translation vector 𝑎 𝑏 .
2 5 would be a vector two units in the x-direction and five units in the y-direction.

3. 12C Continued
i and j are examples of unit vectors because they have length 1.
i = and is a translation 1 unit in the positive x-direction.
j = and is a translation 1 unit in the positive y-direction.
