Finding Coordinate Vector?
$begingroup$
In a new basis of $mathbb R^2$ , the coordinate vector of the vector $[2,3]$ is $[4,3]$ and that of the vector $[4,5]$ is $[6,6]$. Given this information, what is the coordinate vector of $[6,7]$?

It is $-[4,3]+2[6,6]=[8,9]$ because $[6,7]=-[2,3]+2[4,5]$.

The most efficient method is to express $[6,7]$ as a linear combination of $[2,3]$ and $[4,5]$ and then use the fact that a change of basis is a linear transformation in co-ordinates to find the new co-ordinates of $[6,7]$.
If you want to explicitly find the new basis vectors, you can proceed as follows. Suppose the new basis vectors are $mathbf{e_1}$ and $mathbf{e_2}$. Then
$4mathbf{e_1}+3mathbf{e_2}=[2,3]$
$6mathbf{e_1}+6mathbf{e_2}=[4,5]$
$Rightarrow 2mathbf{e_1} = 2[2,3] - [4,5] = [0,1]$
$Rightarrow mathbf{e_1} = left[0, frac 12 right], space mathbf{e_2} = left[frac 23, frac 13 right]$
$ Rightarrow [6,7] = 8mathbf{e_1} + 9mathbf{e_2}$
