Recall that the component form of a vector that goes from point (x,y) to point (v,w) is:


.

Therefore the component form of the vector that goes from point A to point B is:


<-8-(-3),1-(-7)>.

Simplifying the above result we get:


\begin{gathered} <-8+3,1+7>, \\ <-5,8>. \end{gathered}

Answer:


<-5,8>.
