A point lying in the XY-plane has which coordinate equal to zero?

Answer: z.

  • A x
  • B y
  • C z
  • D none of them

Correct answer: C. z

Explanation: The XY-plane is defined by z = 0, so every point on it has the form (x, y, 0).

zxyOP(x, y, z)first octant:x>0, y>0, z>0

Concept context

Coordinate axes and planes in space, octants, distance between two points, and the section formula
