Given points \(A = [-3,2]\) and \(B = [1,y]\), find the values of \(y\) which ensure the length of the vector \(\overrightarrow{AB } \) equals \(5\).
\(y_{1} = -1\), \(y_{2} = 5\)
\(y_{1} = -1\), \(y_{2} = 1\)
\(y_{1} = 1\), \(y_{2} = 5\)
\(y_{1} = 5\), \(y_{2} = -5\)

In the following list identify a valid relation involving the vectors \(\vec{a} = (2,-3)\), \(\vec{b} = (1,3)\) and \(\vec{c} = (5,-3)\).
\(\vec{c} = 2\vec{a} +\vec{ b}\)
\(\vec{b} = \frac{1} {2}\vec{a} +\vec{ c}\)
\(2\vec{a} +\vec{ b} +\vec{ c} =\vec{ o}\)
\(\vec{a} = \frac{1} {2}\vec{b} +\vec{ c}\)

Let \( \vec{v}=(12,5) \). Find all the vectors \( \vec{u} \) that are perpendicular to the vector \( \vec{v} \) and have the length of \( 26 \).
\( \vec{u_1} =(10,-24),\ \vec{u_2}=(-10, 24) \)
\( \vec{u}=(10,-24) \)
\( \vec{u_1}=\frac12 (5,-12),\ \vec{u_2}=\frac12 (-5, 12) \)
\( \vec{u_1}=26\cdot(5,-12),\ \vec{u_2}=26\cdot(-5, 12) \)
