From the origin, move 3 units to the to the back, 2 units to the left, 3 units up (option D)

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3 dimensional coordinate space is usually arranged in this format:

The shown part of the three letters are their positive coordinate:

Z: positve points up, negative points down

Y: positive points right, negative points left

X: positive points to the front, negative points to the back

The 3D coordinate is wriiten as (x, y, z)

Given point: (-3, -2, 3)

From the origin:

x is negative: 3 units to the to the back

y is negative: 2 units to the left

z is positive: 3 units up

From the origin, move 3 units to the to the back, 2 units to the left, 3 units up (option D)
