Notes

If P1(x1,y1,z1) and P2(x2,y2,z2) are any two points, then the vector joining P1 and P2 is the vector  in following fig.

Joining the points P1 and P2 with the origin O, and applying triangle law, from the triangle OP1P2, we have
 OP1+P1P2=OP2
Using the properties of vector addition, the above equation becomes
P1P2=OP2-OP1
i.e. P1P2=(x2i^+y2j^+z2k^)-(x1i^+y1j^+z1k^)
= (x2-x1)i^+(y2-y1)j^+(z2-z1)k^

The magnitude of vector P1P2 is given by
|P1P2|=(x2-x1)2 +(y2-y1)2+(z2-z1)2
