Find the direction angle of vector v to the nearest tenth of a degree.Equation editor does not include the grouping symbols "<" and ">" that are necessary for writing avector in component form. For this question, use braces to write a vector in component form. Forexample, the vector < 2,3> should be written as {2,3}.

Answer:

The direction angle is approximately 9.5 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The vectors are {-5, 0} and {7, 2}

Direction vector is {7 - (-5), 2 - 0 } = {12, 2}

Direction angle is:


\tan^(-1)((2)/(12))\approx9.5^o
