Question
If the position vector of a point (-4, -3) be $\vec{\text{a}}$, find $\big|\vec{\text{a}}\big|$.
✓

Answer

Given a point (-4, -3) such that its position vector $\vec{\text{a}}$ is given by
$\vec{\text{a}}=-4\hat{\text{i}}-3\hat{\text{j}}$
Then,
$\big|\vec{\text{a}}\big|=\sqrt{(-4)^2+(-3)^2}$
$=\sqrt{16+9}$
$=\sqrt{25}$
$=5$
