Using the image above, how would you describe the following coordinate? (4, 6, -5)
Miracrown is already here my job is done
Miracrown is not even helping! Too busy chatting with buddies!
Then summon the crown
LOL. Hello. I was AFK. Are you supposed to answer by plotting the point? Or by giving directions like up, right, back?
I can help you with either :)
@Miracrown That is the point... I dont really know what the teacher is asking for? It just asks me how would you describe the following coordinate? which is (4, 6, -5)
by looking at the graph I attached
Correct, I was going to walk you through this in three steps. We need to describe where the point is along the x-axis, along the y-axis and along the z-axis in order to completely describe where the point is located.
@DullJackel09 LOL xD The crown has arrived (thumbs up ;)
@Miracrown All right, go ahead.
So along the x-axis we want to be able to say the point is ___ units left/right. Would our point be to the left or to the right on the x-axis?
I think four units and to the right on the x axis??
We are working with the point (4,6,-5). The x-coordinate is 4. When we look at the x-axis we see negative values to the left and positive values to the right. So our point is 4 units to the right. You're right! :)
What is the y-coordinate?
6
Yep!
So how would you describe where the point is along the y-axis?
It looks like it is on the top part of the graph, so left??? i dont know..
The y-axis is going up and down.
oh okay, then up.
So would it be 6 units up or 6 units down?
6 units up
Correct! The positive numbers are going up and the negative numbers are going down.
Last part... what is the z-coordinate?
it is -5
Yes! Now the z-axis is going forward and backward. Which direction would our point go?
Backwards, right? Since its negative 5. So now you can put all three parts together to describe where the point would be located.
Remember to describe where the point is, you describe a direction for each coordinate.
yeah it is backwards
Sorry, plo
So, what is the answer to the question?
You tell me
Put all three parts together to describe where the point would be located.
4 units to the right on the x axis, 6 units up on the y axis, and 5 units backwards on the z axis. Is this the answer the teacher was looking for?
Yes, I think so. So the point is 4 units to the right, 6 units up, and 5 units back. :^)
That is it?
Yes m8
Good luck!
Wow, that was so easy!!! xD Thanks Miracrown
