Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify.

Point Y(-9, 2)

Point Z(3, -4)

Step 2: Find

1. Substitute in points [Vector Component Form]:                                        $\displaystyle \overrightarrow{YZ} = \ <3 - -9, \ -4 - 2>$
2. [Order of Operations] Evaluate:                                                                  $\displaystyle \overrightarrow{YZ} = \ <12, \ -6>$
