Question

What is the ordered triple for the point plotted in the three-dimensional coordinate system below?

Answer 1

A.

(2, 4, 4)

B.

(–4, 4, 2)

C.

(4, 4, 2)

D.

(4, 2, 4)

Answer 2

you are going 2 units on the x-axis (coming towards you)

then going 4 units on the y-axis (to the right)

finally, you're going 4 units up on the z-axis...this last part has to be 4 because that's the only thing that matches

Answer 3

so that's why the ordered triple is (2,4,4)

Answer 4

ideally this plot would be interactive so you can spin it around and see exactly how high on the z-axis this point is
