Answer

a) $(23m)\hat x+(-27m)\hat y$ b) $-(23m)\hat x+(27m)\hat y$

Work Step by Step

(a) We can express $\vec A-\vec B$ in unit vectors as $\vec A-\vec B=(25m-2m)\hat x-(-12m-15m)\hat y$ $\vec A-\vec B=(23m)\hat x+(-27m)\hat y$ (b) We can express $\vec B-\vec A$ in unit vectors as $\vec B-\vec A=-(\vec A-\vec B)$ $\vec B-\vec A=-(23m)\hat x+(27m)\hat y$
