Drawing Vectors on Latex: A Simple Guide

Homework Statement

I have drawn a graph on latex, i have an x axis, y axis, and a line coming out of the origin with a point at the end of that line. Now at that point, i want to draw two vectors coming out: a vector normal to that point and a vector perpendicular to that point.
I don't know how to draw on Latex these two vectors. I didnt draw the graph, my lecturer drew it but i can't put those two vectors.

I have tried looking online at various resources, but none of them show how to draw two vectors coming out of a point on latex.

I understand the importance of accurately representing visual data in scientific work. Drawing vectors on latex can be done using the tikz package, which allows for precise and customizable vector illustrations. First, you will need to define the coordinates of your point and the direction of your vectors. This can be done using the \coordinate command. Next, you can use the \draw command to draw the vectors, specifying the starting point, direction, and length of each vector. Additionally, you can use the \fill command to add color or shading to your vectors. I recommend referring to the tikz documentation for further guidance and examples on how to draw vectors on latex. With practice, you will be able to accurately and efficiently represent your data using tikz and latex.
