To find the vector $\overrightarrow{CD}$ in component form, we need to use the coordinates of points $C$ and $D$.

Given:

• $C(2, -4)$
• $D(1, -3)$

The component form of a vector $\overrightarrow{CD}$ is calculated by subtracting the coordinates of $C$ from the coordinates of $D$:

$\overrightarrow{CD} = \langle D_x - C_x, D_y - C_y \rangle$

Where $D_x$ and $D_y$ are the x and y coordinates of point $D$, and $C_x$ and $C_y$ are the x and y coordinates of point $C$.

Substitute the given values:

$\overrightarrow{CD} = \langle 1 - 2, -3 - (-4) \rangle = \langle -1, 1 \rangle$

So, the component form of $\overrightarrow{CD}$ is $\langle -1, 1 \rangle$.
