For a displacement vector whose components are

\Delta x = -4\,\text{m}

and

\Delta y = 3\,\text{m}

, answer the following: (i) Write the signs of

\Delta x

and

\Delta y

. (ii) Identify the quadrant in which the displacement vector lies. (iii) State the range of values (in degrees) in which its angle

\theta

, measured from the positive

x

-axis, must fall.
