Answer:

The coordinate of the point is (8,-5,-1).

Explanation:

Given that the point is located 8 units in front of the yz-plane, 5 units to the left of the xz-plane, and 1 unit below the xy-plane.

According to the convention to the coordinate axis, the front of the yz-plane is the positive x-axis, right of xz-plane is the positive y-axis, and above of xy-plane is the positive z-axis.

As the point is located 8 units in front of the yz-plane, so x=8.

As the point is located 5 units to the left of the xz-plane, so y= -5.

As the point is located 1 unit below the xy-plane, so z= -1.

Hence, the coordinate of the point, (x,y,z)=(8,-5,-1).
