Using matlab to find vectors that are orthogonal to another vector.

Is there a way that matlab can be used to find a general solution for vectors that are orthogonal to another vector. (eg, (1,1) )? Without using matlab, i can get the general solution which is x =-y, but i cant find a way to do this using matlab.

Do you mean 2D vectors?
v = rand(1, 2) % Any test vector
vp = [-v(2), v(1)]
dot(v, vp) % Orthogonal means: dot product is 0
So "x=-y" is a part of the solution. Add "y=x" and you get one of the two perpendicular vectors. -vp is the other one.

Hi O^2,
n = 5;
v = rand(n,1)
% make sure that v is a row vector, just in case it was a column vector
v = v(:).'
% find a set of n-1 mutually orthogonal column vectors
% that are all perpendicular to v.
n = null(v)
