We can say it is just the linear combination of that vector. Similarly, you can get any point (vector) on a plane by “linear” combining two vectors.

To overcome the efficiencies of existing algorithms for parallel matrix multiplication, a matrix multiplication processing scheme based on vector linear combination (VLC) was presented. The VLC scheme ...

Can be used to solve the DeltaMath Assignment titled "Find Linear Combination of Vectors Algebraically." Can also be used for similar Khan Academy assignments. Mainly useful for pre-calc students ...
