A vector (see Vector image occurrence) represents a lot of useful information. As well as telling us that the point is at (4, 3), we can also think of it as an angle θ and a length (or magnitude) m. In this case, the arrow is a position vector - it denotes a position in space, relative to the origin.

A very important point to consider about vectors is that they only represent relative direction and magnitude. There is no concept of a vector's position.
