Question

Which steps would you use to plot the point (7, −6, −5) in a 3-dimensional coordinate system starting from the origin?

a. move right 7, down 6, and up 5
b. move forward 7, left 6, and down 5
c. move forward 7, down 6, and left 5
d. move up 7, back 6, and down 5

Answer 1

B. move forward 7, left 6, and down 5

Explanation:

By the convention of 3D geometry, the coordinates of a point (x,y,z) represent how far the point is from the origin forward-backward , right/left , up-down respectively with prior one for the positive coordinate and latter for the negative coordinate.

so we need to move forward 7 for x=7 then to left 6 for y=-6 and then down 5 for z=-5.
