I have two vectors in R, e.g.

```
a <- c(2,6,4,9,8)
b <- c(8,9,4,2,1)

```

Vectors a and b are ordered in a way that I wish to conserve (I will be plotting them against each other). I want to remove certain values from vector a and remove the values at the same indices in b. e.g. if I wanted to remove values ≥ 8 from a:

```
a <- a[a<8]

```

... which gives a new vector without those values.

Is there now an easy way of removing values from the same indices in b (in this example indices 4 and 5)? Perhaps by using a data frame?
