Suppose you start at the origin, move along the x-axis a distance of 4 units in the positive direction, and then move downward along the z-axis a distance of 7 units. What are the coordinates of your position

Answer:

(4,0,-7)

Explanation:

The initial position was (0,0,0) since it was the origin

Now, we have a movement of positive x at a distance of 4 units, with a distance of z a total of 7 units(negative since downward)

The current position is thus;

(4,0,-7)

Thus correlates to (x,y,z) and our y has remained zero as there is no movement along the y-axis
