### Vector Addition Exercise

2. On the axes below, represent the vectors \(\vec{A} = (2,0)\) and \(\vec{B} = (-3,0)\). Then add the two vectors geometrically (tip to tail method) and algebraically. **(Make sure to label each vector and the final result)**

#### Instructions:
1. **Geometric Method (Tip to Tail)**
   - Draw vector \(\vec{A}\) starting from the origin (0,0).
     - Since \(\vec{A} = (2,0)\), it should extend 2 units to the right along the x-axis.
   - Next, draw vector \(\vec{B}\) from the tip of \(\vec{A}\).
     - \(\vec{B} = (-3,0)\) means it should extend 3 units to the left along the x-axis.
   - Finally, draw the resultant vector \(\vec{R}\) from the origin to the tip of \(\vec{B}\).

2. **Algebraic Method**
   - Adding the vectors algebraically:
     \[
     \vec{A} + \vec{B} = (2, 0) + (-3, 0) = (2 - 3, 0) = (-1, 0)
     \]
   - So, the resultant vector \(\vec{R}\) is \((-1, 0)\).

#### Graph Explanation:
- The graph has labeled x and y axes.
- The x-axis (horizontal) and the y-axis (vertical) intersect at the origin (0,0).
- Each square on the grid represents one unit.

### Steps to Complete the Graph:
1. **Draw \(\vec{A}\) from the origin:**
   - It starts at (0, 0) and extends to (2, 0).

2. **Draw \(\vec{B}\) from the tip of \(\vec{A}\):**
   - Starting at (2, 0), move 3 units to the left, ending at (-1, 0).

3. **Draw \(\vec{R}\) from the origin to the endpoint:**
   - \(\vec{R}\) extends from (0, 0) to (-1, 0).

Be sure to label:
