Vector u has its initial point at (21,12) and its terminal point at (19,-8). Vector v has a direction opposite that of u, whose
magnitude is five times the magnitude of v. Which is the correct form of vector v expressed as a linear combination of the unit vectors I and J

Notice the picture,
recall your SOH, CAH, TOA
you have,
opposite side, 165
adjacent side, 50
and the angle
that means, we'll need Mrs. tangent
thus
