Step 2.2.1.1

Multiply $2$ by $2$ .

$4 - 1 \cdot 5 + 0 \cdot - 1$

Step 2.2.1.2

Multiply $- 1$ by $5$ .

$4 - 5 + 0 \cdot - 1$

Step 2.2.1.3

Multiply $0$ by $- 1$ .

$4 - 5 + 0$

Step 2.2.2

Subtract $5$ from $4$ .

$- 1 + 0$

Step 2.2.3

Add $- 1$ and $0$ .

$- 1$

Step 3

The vectors are not orthogonal since the dot product is not $0$ .
