**Vector Composition Exercise**

**Graph 1: Vector Representation**

- The graph displays two vectors labeled **\(\vec{u}\)** and **\(\vec{v}\)**. 
- **\(\vec{u}\)** is represented as a vector pointing to the right.
- **\(\vec{v}\)** is shown pointing diagonally upwards to the left.
- The grid has standard spacing with each box representing 1 unit by 1 unit.

**Task:**

Write the vector shown in Graph 2 as a combination of vectors **\(\vec{u}\)** and **\(\vec{v}\)** depicted in Graph 1.

**Graph 2: Target Vector**

- This graph illustrates a single vector pointing mostly upwards and slightly to the left.
- The grid is similar, with each box representing 1 unit by 1 unit.

**Equation:**

\[ \text{Vector} = a \cdot \vec{u} + b \cdot \vec{v} \]

**Note:**

- Determine the coefficients \(a\) and \(b\) that express the target vector as a combination of **\(\vec{u}\)** and **\(\vec{v}\)**.
- Use the "Calculator" for assistance in calculating coefficients.
- Confirm your results by selecting "Check Answer."

This exercise involves vector addition, which is fundamental in understanding linear combinations and vector spaces.
