Question

Describe the location of point (-3, -2, 3) in three-dimensional coordinate space.

Answer 1

Answer:

The usual way to draw a 3-D grid can be seen below.

The positive z-axis points upwards

The positive y-axis points to the right

The positive x-axis points towards you, or to the front.

And the notation for a point in 3-D is (x, y, z)

In this case, our point is (-3, -2, 3)

Then the location of the point can be described as:

So the x-value is -3, which means that the point is 3 units behind the origin.

The y-value is -2, which means that the point is 2 units at the left of the origin

The z-value is 3, which means that the point is 3 units above the origin.
