Image with description On a coordinate plane, vector u goes down and to the right in quadrant 1 and forms angle 40 degrees with the y-axis.

C

Image with description On a coordinate plane, vector u goes down and to the right in quadrant 4 and forms angle 40 degrees with the y-axis.

D

Image with description On a coordinate plane, vector u goes down and to the right in quadrant 2 and forms angle 40 degrees with the y-axis.
