alleryA vector equal in size but opposite in direction is the:
ANegative of the vector
BModulus of the vector
CSection of the vector
DBearing of the vector
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Negative of the vector
1. The magnitude is the same as that of the given vector.
2. Only the direction is reversed, so BA is the reverse of AB.
3. This is the negative, or additive inverse, of the vector.
