I've attempted to solve the problem, but I got $\langle \frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{29}{4}}}, \frac{5}{\sqrt{\frac{29}{4}}}\rangle$, which is incorrect. There is not a similar problem in my textbook that I can reference.

I know that to find a unit vector, we first find the length/magnitude of the given vector, and multiply $$1/\sqrt{magnitude}$$ by the original vector.

$$L = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}.$$

Can anyone give me any ideas on how to solve this problem?

Find the unit vector that has the same direction as the vector from the point A = (-1,2) to the point B = (3,3).

Thank you in advance.
