Find the initial point of a vector given the location and direction of the terminal point

1.1k Views Asked by At

Hopefully someone can help me understand what I'm missing.

The question in full is: "Find the initial point P of a vector u with terminal Q(3,0,-5) in the same direction as V(4,-2,-1)".

I understand how to find the direction from V, but without the magnitude of u how can I know the initial point? Isn't there infinitely many possible initial points given only direction?

Thanks
