                        Annotations:

                        • Two vectors u and v are parallel if and only if u = kv where k is a constant.
                        1. Line segments have common direction
                  2. Definition
                    1. A vector is a set of instructions for moving from one point to another in three dimensions.
                      1. A line which has both magnitude and direction can represent this vector.
