Answer

$7i-2j+4k$

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: $A=(-1,4,-2)$ and $B=(6,2,2)$ Therefore, $v=(6-(-1))i+(2-4)j+(2-(-2))k\\ =7i-2j+4k$
