Explanation:

Step1: Recall vector - component formula

If a vector $\mathbf{v}$ has an initial point $(x_1,y_1)$ and a terminal point $(x_2,y_2)$, then $\mathbf{v}=\langle x_2 - x_1,y_2 - y_1
angle$.

Step2: Identify the values of $x_1,y_1,x_2,y_2$

Here, $x_1 = 2,y_1=-8,x_2=-1,y_2 = - 8$.

Step3: Calculate the $x$ - component

$x_2 - x_1=-1 - 2=-3$.

Step4: Calculate the $y$ - component

$y_2 - y_1=-8-(-8)=-8 + 8 = 0$.

Answer:

$\langle - 3,0
angle$
