we are given


v_1=(2,-6)


v_2=(-4,7)

(a)

we can find absolute value


|v_1|=√((2)^2+(-6)^2)


|v_1|=2√(10)


|v_2|=√((-4)^2+(7)^2)


|v_2|=√(65)

(b)

we can find unit vectors


v_1'=(v_1)/(|v_1|)

now, we can plug values


v_1'=((2,-6))/(2√(10))


v_1'=((1)/(√(10)) ,(-3)/(√(10)) )


v_2'=(v_2)/(|v_2|)

now, we can plug values


v_2'=((-4,7))/(√(65))


v_2'=((-4)/(√(65)) ,(7)/(√(65)) )

(c)

we can draw vectors
