    Is space as in "space-time" a vector quantity?
    Are space and time represented as vectors like, they are negative or positive depending upon a situation . If yes, how is it shown in space time graphs?

    Not sure if this will help, but think of space time as a 3-D object traveling along a ray (which represents time).

    Are you talking about the classical or relativistic concept of space and time?
