Answer:

[tex]51.34^{\circ}[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

x component of a vector = -12 m

The y component of a vector = -15 m

We need to find the direction of a vector. The direction of a vector is given by :

[tex]\tan\theta=\dfrac{y}{x}[/tex]

Put all the values,

[tex]\tan\theta=\dfrac{-15}{-12}\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{-15}{-12})\\\\\theta=51.34^{\circ}[/tex]

So, the direction of vector is [tex]51.34^{\circ}[/tex] to x component.
