How do you convert a vector to one that has the same direction and length but is in standard position?

I would like to know how to do this for any vector, but the specific vector I need to do this to has tail (1/2, 1/2, 1/2) and tip (1, 1, 1).





And by "standard position," I mean a vector with its tail, or starting point, at (0, 0, 0).





Thanks for your help!|||Just subtract the components of the tail of the vector from the components of the tip of the vector. The final standard vector for your specific problem is (1/2, 1/2, 1/2).
