    Vectors starting at different origins

    I'm trying to determine the projected value for a new vector based on 3 vectors starting at different origins. This is in a 2D plane not 3D. Hope someone can help with a formula.

    For example:

    Vector 1: (100, 100) - (300, 300)
    Vector 2: (100, 150) - (300, 300)
    Vector 3: (100, 175) - (300, 300)

    So the y value for the composite vector end point at say point (301, yyyy) would be???


    Thanks
    David

    I'm not sure what you're after. Are you trying to find the resultant of the 3 vectors?
    You just proved that sig advertisements work.

    Thanks for responding nishantp

    ------------------

    I'm trying to find the NET or COMPOSITE result for the three vectors unless I'm not using the correct verbage. In other words, once the 3 vectors go past the point where they converge at xaxis pixel 300, the net effect of the three vectors (a single y value of the three forces at xaxis pixel 301) would be???
