State whether the vectors are parallel, orthogonal, or neither.
- $$\mathbf { v } = - 3 \mathbf { i } - 5 \mathbf { j } , \quad \mathbf { w } = 2 \mathbf { i } - \mathbf { j }$$

• A) \(\mathbf { v } _ { 1 } = - \frac { 2 } { 5 } \mathbf { i } - \frac { 1 } { 5 } \mathbf { j } , \mathbf { v } _ { 2 } = \frac { 7 } { 5 } \mathbf { i } - \frac { 14 } { 5 } \mathrm { j }\)
• B) \(\mathbf { v } _ { 1 } = - \frac { 2 } { 5 } \mathrm { i } - \frac { 1 } { 5 } \mathrm { j } , \mathbf { v } _ { 2 } = - \frac { 14 } { 5 } \mathrm { i } - \frac { 24 } { 5 } \mathrm { j }\)
• C) \(\mathbf { v } _ { 1 } = - \frac { 1 } { 2 } \mathrm { i } - \frac { 1 } { 4 } \mathrm { j } , \mathbf { v } _ { 2 } = - \frac { 5 } { 2 } \mathrm { i } - \frac { 19 } { 4 } \mathrm { j }\)
• D) \(\mathbf { v } _ { 1 } = - \frac { 2 } { 5 } \mathrm { i } - \frac { 1 } { 5 } \mathrm { j } , \mathrm { v } _ { 2 } = - \frac { 13 } { 5 } \mathrm { i } - \frac { 24 } { 5 } \mathrm { j }\)
