How do you find the magnitude of MP given M(2,-1) and P(-3,4)? Precalculus Vectors in the Plane Direction Angles 1 Answer Ratnaker Mehta Jul 31, 2016 #5sqrt2#. Explanation: #vec(MP)#=position vector of P-position vector of M #=(-3,4)-(2,-1)# #=(-3-2,4-(-1))# #=(-5,5)# Hence, the magnitude of #vec(MP)=||vec(MP)||# #=sqrt{(-5)^2+5^2}=sqrt(25+25)=sqrt50=5sqrt2#.
