Equal Vectors

Equal vectors have the same magnitude and the same direction.

Equal vectors may start at different positions. Note that when the vectors are equal, the directed line segments are parallel.

Equality Of Column Vectors

If two vectors are equal then their vector columns are equal.

Example:
