When a vector is represented as a line segment, the starting point is called as the Initial Point of a Vector.

A reference point is a place or object used for comparison to determine if something is in motion. An object is in motion if it changes position relative to a reference point. Objects that are fixed relative to Earth – such as a building, a tree, or a sign - make good reference points.

Answer:

The first thing to focus on when studying motion of an object or person is their position. The word position describes your location (where you are). However, saying that you are here or there is meaningless, you have to use known points (reference points) to help specify your position.

For example, if you were in a classroom and wanted to tell a classmate where you were standing you would first give them a reference point. The reference point might be the classroom door. You would then be able to say that you are \(\text{2}\) \(\text{m}\) from the doorway. This still doesn't give your position precisely. We need to provide a reference point and a coordinate system to use to define the location precisely.
