What is the best approximation of the projection of (5,-1) onto (2,6)?

Hence, the scalar projection of onto = , and  the vector projection of onto = .

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given two points   and .

Let,      and   .

and we have calculate the projection of onto .

Now,

For the calculation of projection, first we need to calculate the dot product of    and .

then, we have to calculate the magnitude of .

    = = = .

Now, the scalar projection of onto =

                                                                 =

and the vector projection of onto =

                                                               =

                                                                =

Hence, the scalar projection of onto = , and  the vector projection of onto = .
