Final answer:

To find the electric potential due to the charges at the given coordinates, calculate the potential contribution from each charge and add them up using the equation V = k * q / r.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the electric potential due to the charges at the given coordinates, we need to calculate the potential contribution from each charge and then add them up. The electric potential due to a point charge is given by the equation V = k * q / r, where V is the potential, k is Coulomb's constant (8.99 x 10^9 Nm^2/C^2), q is the charge, and r is the distance from the charge.

In this case, we have multiple charges. Let's assume there are two charges, A and B. The electric potential due to both charges at a point (x, y, z) is given by V = k * (qA/rA + qB/rB). We can use this equation to find the total potential at the given coordinates.
