Vector from Direction (Straight) (Level 2)

This math topic covers the determination of vectors on a Cartesian grid based on given directional instructions. The exercises focus on identifying the x and y changes that result from moving in specific directions such as up, down, or right by various units. Each question presents a direction coupled with a magnitude of movement, and multiple choice answers represent possible vector coordinates that could result from these movements. The problems help strengthen understanding of vector components in a plane by associating them with directional and distance transformations.
