Question

Suppose you start at the origin, move along the x-axis a distance of 5 units in the positive direction, and then move downward along the z-axis a distance of 3 units. What are the coordinates of your position

Answer 1

Answer:(x,z)=(5,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

We move  5 units in x-axis

3 units in downward along z-axis

Suppose a z-axis is vertical and x -axis is horizontal as shown in fig.

So, coordinates after movement is given by the movement along x-axis and z-axis.

So, final coordinates is (5,-3) in x-z Plane .

As there is no movement in z-axis , so Y-coordinate will remain zero.
