1. **State the problem:** Given vector $\overrightarrow{AB} = -7\mathbf{i} + 3\mathbf{j} + 8\mathbf{k}$ and point $A(-2, -3, 6)$, find the coordinates of point $B$.
2. **Recall the formula:** The vector from $A$ to $B$ is given by
$$\overrightarrow{AB} = B - A = (x_B - x_A, y_B - y_A, z_B - z_A)$$
where $B = (x_B, y_B, z_B)$.
3. **Set up equations:** Using the components of $\overrightarrow{AB}$,
$$x_B - (-2) = -7$$
$$y_B - (-3) = 3$$
$$z_B - 6 = 8$$
4. **Solve for each coordinate:**
$$x_B + 2 = -7 \implies x_B = -7 - 2 = -9$$
$$y_B + 3 = 3 \implies y_B = 3 - 3 = 0$$
$$z_B - 6 = 8 \implies z_B = 8 + 6 = 14$$
5. **Final answer:**
$$B = (-9, 0, 14)$$
This means point $B$ is located at coordinates $(-9, 0, 14)$.
