Position Vector is Parallel to the Vector Between 2 Points

In this video I quickly review the vector between 2 points, which has a corresponding parallel vector from the origin called the position vector. The position vector is determined by subtracting the components between 2 points. Since the direction of the vector and magnitude of a vector governs most of its properties, the vector between 2 points is typically set to equal the position vector.
