Answer:

A possible initial point is (1,4) and a possible terminal point is (8,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given vector is [tex]\vec{v}=(7,1)[/tex].

We can rewrite this vector as:

[tex]\vec{v}=\binom{7}{1}[/tex]

The x-components is 7 and the y-component is 1.

We can choose initial point (a,b) and terminal point (c,d) in the first quadrant such that [tex]c-a=7[/tex]  and [tex]d-b=1[/tex]

If a=1, and b= 4, then:

[tex]c-1=7[/tex]  and [tex]d-4=1[/tex]

This implies that:

[tex]c=7+1=8[/tex]  and [tex]d=1+4=5[/tex]

Therefore a possible initial point is (1,4) and a possible terminal point is (8,5)
