6 Miles north and 4 miles west

Keep in mind that when you know the horizontal and vertical components of a vector, you can use the tangent to find the angle because


\begin{gathered} \tan \theta=(y)/(x) \\ \theta=\tan ^(-1)((y)/(x)) \\ \theta=\tan ^(-1)((6)/(-4)) \\ \theta=56.31 \end{gathered}

The angle would be 56.31
