What to Focus On

  • The x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis are mutually perpendicular.
  • The three coordinate planes are XY-plane, YZ-plane, and ZX-plane.
  • The origin has coordinates (0, 0, 0).

  • A point in space is written as an ordered triplet (x, y, z).
  • x, y, and z are perpendicular distances from the YZ, ZX, and XY planes.
  • The sign of the coordinates determines the octant.

  • Use the full three-coordinate distance formula for any two points in space.
  • The origin-distance formula is a special case of the general distance formula.
  • The derivation uses the Pythagorean theorem twice.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A point in space needs only two coordinates, just like a point in a plane.

The order of coordinates does not matter; (x, y, z) can be read in any order.

The sign of one coordinate alone decides the octant.
