\begin{definition}[\textbf{Parallelogram Law for Vector Addition}]
|
|
\hfill\\
|
|
The sum of two vectors $x$ and $y$ that act at the same point $P$ is the vector beginning at $P$ that is represented by the diagonal of parallelogram having $x$ and $y$ as adjacent sides.

\begin{definition}

\hfill\\
|
|
Two nonzero vectors $x$ and $y$ are called \textbf{parallel} if $y=tx$ for some nonzero real number $t$. (Thus nonzero vectors having the same or opposite directions are parallel.)
