Question

The vector function F(r)=xi^+yj^\mathbf{F}(\mathbf{r}) = -x\hat{i} + y\hat{j} is defined over a circular arc CC shown in the figure.
A circular arc C in the first quadrant of a coordinate system. The arc starts at (1,0) on the x-axis and ends at a point on the unit circle that makes a 45-degree angle with the positive x-axis. Unit vectors i-hat and j-hat are shown along the x and y axes respectively.
The line integral of CF(r)dr\int_C \mathbf{F}(\mathbf{r}) \cdot d\mathbf{r} is
