    F = kQq / d²

    Horizontally: F = 8.99e9N·m²/C² * 7e-9C * 3e-9C / (7m)² = 3.85e-9 N, right

    Vertically: F = 8.99e9N·m²/C² * 7e-9C * 2e-9C / (8m)² = 1.97e-9 N, down

    Θ = arctan(1.97/3.85) = 27º below the +x axis,

    which can also be expressed as Θ = 333º ccw from the +x axis.

    Hope this helps!
