One particular Vector Space : The Plane

We chose an origin, and every point of the plane is matched with the vector that links the point to the chosen origin

We may then easily define ...

The addition of two vector (the parallelogram rule)

The multiplication of a vector by a scalar

The vector 0 : the one which is matched with the chosen origin
