Question
Find the coordinates of the point which is located three units behind the YZ-plane, four units to the right of XZ-plane, and five units above the XY-plane.
Solution
Three units behind the YZ-plane i.e., x = – 3
Four units to the right of the XZ-plane i.e., y = 4
Five units above the XY-plane i.e., z = 5
∴ The required co-ordinates are (– 3, 4, 5).
