You draw the first vector on the graph. Then you draw the second vector beginning at the end of the first vector. The vector sum is the vector that connects the origin of Vector 1 with the tip of Vector 2.

Easiest way is probably the head-to-tail method:

1. Draw Vector 1 (doesn't matter which one you choose first), with it proper length and proper direction.

2. Starting at the pointy end of Vector 1, draw Vector 2, also with its proper length and direction. The TAIL of Vector 2 should be touching the HEAD of Vector 1.

3. Now draw a third arrow, starting at the TAIL of Vector 1 and ending at the HEAD of Vector 2.

The third arrow is your answer. It's the vector sum of Vector 1 and Vector 2.

There are other graphical methods (such as the "parallelogram method") to add vectors; but they all give the same result.

Put the tail of the second on the head of the first.

Then measure the distance and direction between the origin of the first and the ending point of the second (or simply draw a vector connecting the two points.)

you draw one of the vectors firstly and then you add start point of second to final point of the first.
finally you draw a line from starting of first to finish of another vector.
this is the method of adding point to point.
