Answer

A - B = (2i + 3j)

Step-by-step explanation

We are told that A (5, -5) and B (3, -8)

We are then asked to find the resultant vector of A - B

A and B are given in coordinates form, to put them in vector form, we write these as

A (5, -5) = (5i - 5j)

B (3, -8) = (3i - 8j)

A - B = (5i - 5j) - (3i - 8j)

= 5i - 5j - 3i + 8j

= 5i - 3i - 5j + 8j

= 2i + 3j

A - B = (2i + 3j)

Hope this Helps!!!
