The angle between two vectors u and v is given by;
`costheta = (u.v)/(|u||v|)`
u.v represent the vector dot product and |u| and |v| represents the magnitude of vectors.
We know that in unit vectors;
`ixxi = jxxj = 1 and ixxj = jxxi = 0`
`u = -6i-3j`
`v = -8i+4j`
`u.v = (-6)xx(-8)+(-3)xx4 = 36`
`|u| = sqrt((-6)^2+(-3)^2) = sqrt(45)`
`|v| = sqrt((-8)^2+4^2) = sqrt80`

`|v| = sqrt((-8)^2+4^2) = sqrt80`
The angle between vectors is given by;
`costheta = 36/((sqrt45)(sqrt80))`
`theta = cos^(-1)(36/sqrt(3600))`
`theta = 53.13 deg`
So the angle between two vectors is 53.13 deg
