$the green vector represents relative velocity$ $"the green vector represents relative velocity"$
$v_{AB} = 4.92 \frac{m}{s}$ $v_"AB"=4.92" "m/s$

$the relative displacement between Object A and B can be calculated using :$ $"the relative displacement between Object A and B can be calculated using :"$

$Delta s=sqrt((B_x-A_x)^2+(B_y-A_y)^2)$

$"Where "B_x=-8" ; "A_x=5" ; "B_y=6" ; "A_y=-1$

$Delta s=sqrt((-8-5)^2+(6+1)^2)$

$Delta s=sqrt(169+49) " ; "Delta s=14.76" "m$

$"The relative velocity of B from the perspective of A is:"$

$v_"AB"=(Delta s)/("time")$

$v_"AB"=(14.76)/3$
$"the green vector represents relative velocity"$
$v_"AB"=4.92" "m/s$
