What to Focus On

  • A point in space has three coordinates.
  • The three axes are mutually perpendicular.
  • The three coordinate planes are xy-plane, yz-plane, and xz-plane.

  • Space is divided into 8 octants.
  • First two coordinates locate the quadrant; the sign of z decides the octant group.
  • Reflection in xy-plane changes only z.

  • Distance from a plane equals the absolute value of the perpendicular coordinate.
  • Distance from x-axis is sqrt(y^2 + z^2).
  • Distance from y-axis is sqrt(x^2 + z^2).

Common Mistakes to Avoid

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

A point on the xy-plane must have x = 0 or y = 0.

A point on the x-axis has only one coordinate equal to zero.
