Dear student 
 
consider these velocities on an x-y plane with vectors i and j (+i = East, -i = West, +j = North, -j = South): 

initial velocity = 50j. 

final velocity = -50i. 

change in velocity (Δv) = final velocity – initial velocity = -50i -50j 
 
and  -i direction (west) and -j direction (south), so the total change in velocity will be pointing towards the southwest.

|Δv| = √[(-50)² + (-50)²] 
|Δv| = 70.7 km/h
Hope this helps 
Good Luck
