5 In this question the unit vectors \(\mathbf { i }\) and \(\mathbf { j }\) are pointing east and north respectively.
  1. Calculate the bearing of the vector \(- 4 \mathbf { i } - 6 \mathbf { j }\). The vector \(- 4 \mathbf { i } - 6 \mathbf { j } + k ( 3 \mathbf { i } - 2 \mathbf { j } )\) is in the direction \(7 \mathbf { i } - 9 \mathbf { j }\).
  2. Find \(k\).
