$\to a : represents velocity of B from perspective of A$ $vec a:"represents velocity of B from perspective of A"$
$u : (red vector) represents velocity of A$ $u:"(red vector) represents velocity of A"$
$v = u : represents velocity of B$ $v=u:"represents velocity of B"$

$note that \to a = \to w - \to u$ $"note that "vec a=vec w-vec u$

$you need to find the relative displacement$ $"you need to find the relative displacement"$
$"let "Delta x" be relative displacement"$
$"please look over the figure above"$

$Delta x=sqrt(AG^2+GB^2)$

$"or:"$

$A=(-6,-2)" ; "B=(-5,-4)$
$Delta x=sqrt((-5+6)^2+(-4+2)^2)$

$Delta x=sqrt(1^2+(-2)^2)=sqrt(1+4)=sqrt5$

$Delta t=3" "s$

$v_"AB"=(Delta x)/(Delta t)$

$v_"AB"=sqrt5/3 " "m/s$
