Addition of points in the plane
The sum of two points with the rectangular coordinates [a,b]
and [c,d] is given by (a+c,b+d). We
therefore write
For example [2,5]+[6,2] = [8,7].
In words, the addition rule is simple add the rectangular coordinates of
the summands to get the rectangular coordinates of the sum. With this in
mind, the following question is easy:
What are the rectangular coordinates of the sum of [1,14] and [2,8]?
Answer: [1,14]+[2,8] = [1+2,14+8] = [3,22].
Technical Details: Algebraic Properties (or more precisely, an
algebraic description of computational properties: The commutative and
associative laws for the addition of points in the plane follows from the
corresponding laws for addition of real numbers.
Commutative Law for Addition of points in the
plane:
| [a,b]+[c,d] =
[c,d]+[a,b] |
whenever [a,b] and [c,d] provide the
rectangular coordinates of a pair of points in the plane.
This holds as a+ c = c + a and b + d = d + b due to commutative law for
addition of real numbers.
Associative Law For Addition of points in the plane:
( [a,b]+[c,d] ) +[e,f]
= [a,b]+( [c,d]) +[e,f] )
whenever [a,b], [c, d] and [e,f] are the
rectangular coordinates of a pair of points in the plane.
This holds because the associative law for real numbers implies
(a+ c) + e = a + ( c + f)
and (b +d) + f = b + (d +f)
Technical Detail within a Technical Detail: There is a geometric
viewpoint of points and vectors (or arrows) in the plane which implies the
commutative and associative laws or properties of addition for both points and
real numbers.
