Question

Define position vector.

✓

Answer

Let $\overrightarrow{ OP }$ be a vector whose initial point O is the fixed point or origin. Then $\overrightarrow{ OP }$ is called the position vector of $P$ which express the position of point $P$ with respect to fixed point $O$. Hence by the position vector the position of a variable point $P$ is determined with respect to fixed point (origin) which is expressed by $\overrightarrow{ OP }$.
