1.In a phone game, a character starts at the point (−5, 2) on a grid. It moves by the vector $(- 9 6)$ to collect a coin. The player now wants the character's next single move to finish at the point (3, 0). Write down the column vector of that second move.
(a) $(- 2 8)$
(b) $(- 7 - 2)$
(c) $(7 2)$
(d) $(- 7 4)$

(a)x = 2
(b)x = 5
(c)y = 2
(d)y = 5
