Parallel and orthogonal

I need math help in this problem: a=(-5, 5 3) b=(-2,-4,-5) (they are vectors)
Decompose the vector b into b=v+w where v is parallel to a and w is orthogonal to a, find v and w

Final Answer:

v1 =  2.1186
v2 =  -2.1186
v3 =  -1.2712
w1 =  -4.1186
w2 =  -1.8814
w3 =  -3.7288

Step-by-step explanation:

v2=(2.1186)=2.1186
v3=(1.2712)=1.2712
w1=(4.1186)=4.1186
w2=(1.8814)=1.8814
w3=(3.7288)=3.7288
