Answer

$-3i-5j+4k$

Work Step by Step

If a vector $v$ initiates at point $A(x_1,y_1,z_1)$ and terminates at $B(x_2,y_2,z_2)$, then we can write the vector as $v =\lt x_2-x_1, y_2-y_1, z_2-z_1 \gt =(x_2-x_1)i+(y_2-y_1)j+(z_2-z_1)k.$ Here, we have: $A=(0,0,0)$ and $B=(-3,-5,4)$ Therefore, $v=(-3-0)i+(-5-0)j+(4-0)k\\ =-3i-5j+4k$
