**Colinear** vectors are those that parallel with one another — that is, with identical or opposite directions.

**Colinear** vectors are those that parallel with one another — that is, with identical or opposite directions. Vectors that are colinear must also be **scalar multiples** of each other:
|

$$\vec{u}=k\vec{v}$$

|

**Position** vectors are vectors where the initial point is at the origin — where the terminal point is $A$, a position vector can be written as $\vec{OA}$.
|

|

**Colinear points** are points that lie on the same straight line. If two colinear vectors that share a common point can be formed between three points, those points are colinear.

The sum of two vectors can also be solved diagrammatically by envisioning the head-to-tail as a parallelogram.
