What is the magnitude and direction of Vector GH if G(2, -2) and H(7, 6)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

magnitude is just the length of the vector... just take the distance between these two points. for direction, you'll need to split it up into its i and j components.

OpenStudy (slaaibak):

GH = <5, 8> so its pointing in a northeast direction. magnitude = sqrt(25 + 64)

OpenStudy (happykiddo):

these are the options magnitude: 9.43 units; direction 32.01° magnitude: 9.43 units: direction: 57.99° magnitude: 6.4 units: direction: 32.01° magnitude: 6.4 units; direction: 57.99°

OpenStudy (slaaibak):

to get the direction, solve for: tan x = 8/5

OpenStudy (slaaibak):

magnitude: 9.43 units: direction: 57.99°
