    In my understanding, the component form of a vector is the ordered pair that describes the changes in the x - and y-values.

    Therefore to get it

    you must add all the

    x

    (0 + (-6) + (-6) + 6)

    = - 6

    Then add all y

    (7 + 7 + (-11) + (-11)

    = - 8

    Answer = (-6,-8)
