Question

How can the ordered triple (−3, −2, 4) be plotted in coordinate space?

Beginning at the origin, move 3 units forward along the x-axis, then move 2 units right, and finally move 4 units down.
Beginning at the origin, move 3 units forward along the x-axis, then move 2 units left, and finally move 4 units up.
Beginning at the origin, move 3 units backward along the x-axis, then move 2 units right, and finally move 4 units down.
Beginning at the origin, move 3 units backward along the x-axis, then move 2 units left, and finally move 4 units up.

Answer 1

3 units back, 2 units left, 4 units up

Answer 2

Option D is correct that is beginning at the origin, move 3 units backward along the x-axis, then move 2 units left, and finally move 4 units up.

Explanation:

Given Ordered triplet is ( -3 , -2 , 4 )

Here,

x-coordinate in the ordered triplet is negative so we move in backward direction to mark it.

y-coordinates in the ordered triplet is also negative so we move in left direction to mark it.

z-coordinate in the ordered triplet is positive sow e move in upward direction to mark it.

Therefore, Option D is correct that is beginning at the origin, move 3 units backward along the x-axis, then move 2 units left, and finally move 4 units up.
