9.A crane's hook starts at the point (3.4, 9.5) on a construction site plan measured in metres. It moves along the vector $(- 4.5 - 1.2)$ to pick up a beam, then along the vector $(- 2.5 0.8)$ to place it. Work out the single column vector that describes the hook's overall movement from its start position to where it places the beam.
(a) $(- 2 - 2)$
(b) $(- 7 - 0.4)$
(c) $(7 - 0.4)$

(a)(2, −8)
(b)(6, 2)
(c)(6, 8)
(d)(−2, 8)
