Let
and
are two given vectors that are represented by OA and OB as shown in figure.


To subtract
from
, i.e to get (
-
) , we should get -
by reversing the sighn of
keeping magnitude same






as shown by OC in figure . Vector (
-
) is determined by adding
and -
.




To add
and -
, we complete the parallelogram OCEA . Diagonal OE represents the vector (
-
) .




If vectors are given in component form , then (
-
) is obtained as given below
