i have the formula, but i can't figure out how to plug in the values.
project -2i + 3 onto 7i - 5j
thanks for any input, step-by-step would be great.

-
u = -2i + 3j
v = 7i - 5j
proj.onto v (u) = (u dot v) / |v|
. . . . . . . . . . . . = [(-2)*(7) + (3)*(-5)] / √[(7)² + (-5)²]
. . . . . . . . . . . . = -29 / √(74)
v = 7i - 5j
proj.onto v (u) = (u dot v) / |v|
. . . . . . . . . . . . = [(-2)*(7) + (3)*(-5)] / √[(7)² + (-5)²]
. . . . . . . . . . . . = -29 / √(74)
