### Recognize a Vector Field in a Plane

**Objective:** Sketch the vector field.

**Given:**

Vector Field:  
\[
\mathbf{F}(x, y) = \left\langle \frac{y}{2}, -\frac{x}{2} \right\rangle
\]

|  \(x\)  |  \(y\)  |  \(\mathbf{F}(x, y)\) |
|:-------:|:-------:|:----------------------:|
|    2    |    0    |                        |
|    0    |    2    |                        |
|   -2    |    0    |                        |
|    0    |   -2    |                        |
|    2    |    2    |                        |
|   -2    |    2    |                        |
|   -2    |   -2    |                        |
|    2    |   -2    |                        |

**Instructions:** 
- Fill in the vector field values \( \mathbf{F}(x, y) \) in the table.
- Draw the corresponding vectors on the grid.

**Grid Description:**
- A 9x9 grid with axes labeled from -4 to 4 on both axes.
- The button "Clear All" allows you to erase any drawings.
- A drawing tool is available at the bottom labeled "Draw."

**Approach:**
1. Compute \( \mathbf{F}(x, y) \) for each \((x, y)\) pair in the table.
2. Use the vector \(\left\langle \frac{y}{2}, -\frac{x}{2} \right\rangle\) to determine direction and magnitude.
3. Plot each vector on the grid according to its starting point \((x, y)\).
