In the coordinate triple (x, y, z), the value z is measured along the:

Answer: z-axis.

  • A y-axis
  • B z-axis
  • C line y = x
  • D x-axis

Correct answer: B. z-axis

Explanation: Each coordinate is the signed distance measured along its own axis, so z is measured along the z-axis.

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
