I'm assuming that A stays fixed and that the new B moves since you didn't specify.
\n" ); document.write( "To get from A to B you move $\"-3-5=-8\"$ units in $\"x\"$ and $\"7-10=-3\"$ units in $\"y\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "If you multiply that by $\"5\"$ you would get $\"-40\"$ units in $\"x\"$ and $\"-15\"$ units in $\"y\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "Starting at A,
\n" ); document.write( "( $\"5\"$ , $\"10\"$ )+( $\"-40\"$ , $\"-15\"$ )=( $\"-35\"$ , $\"-5\"$ )
\n" ); document.write( "So the new B would be ( $\"-35\"$ , $\"-5\"$ ).
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
