Answer

$-4 i-2j +5k$

Work Step by Step

Suppose two vectors $P_1=\lt 1,2,0 \gt$ and $P_2=\lt -3,0,5 \gt $. Need to find $\overrightarrow{P_1P_2}$ as follows: $\overrightarrow{P_1P_2}=\overrightarrow{P_2}-\overrightarrow{P_1}$ or, $=\lt 1,2,0 \gt -\lt -3,0,5 \gt$ or, $ =\lt -4,-2,5 \gt$ In vector notation, we have $\overrightarrow{P_1P_2}=-4 i-2j +5k$
