Position vector of a point P is a vector whose initial point is origin.

Question

True and False:

Position vector of a point P is a vector whose initial point is origin.

Answer 1

True

Explanation:

Consider a point P in space, having coordinates (x, y, z) with respect to the origin O(0, 0, 0). Then, the vector \(\vec {OP}\) having O and P as its initial and terminal points, respectively, is called the position vector of the point P with respect to O.
