Final answer:

The vector with the initial point (3, -2) and terminal point (7, 5) is <4, 7>. The unit vector in the direction of <4, 7> is <4/sqrt(65), 7/sqrt(65)>.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find a vector with the initial point (3, -2) and terminal point (7, 5), we subtract the coordinates of the initial point from the coordinates of the terminal point. Thus, the vector is <4, 7>.

To find a unit vector in the direction of <4, 7>, we divide each component of the vector by its magnitude. The magnitude of <4, 7> is sqrt(4^2 + 7^2) = sqrt(65). So, the unit vector is <4/sqrt(65), 7/sqrt(65)>.
