The equation of the x-axis in 3D is:

Answer: y = 0, z = 0.

  • A y = 0, z = 0
  • B x = 0, z = 0
  • C x = 0, y = 0
  • D y = z = x = 0

Correct answer: A. y = 0, z = 0

Explanation: The x-axis is defined by y = 0 and z = 0. Any point on the x-axis has coordinates (x, 0, 0).

zxyOP (x, y, z)

Three mutually perpendicular axes x, y, z meeting at the origin O, with a point P located by its (x, y, z) coordinates.

Concept context

Lines and planes in 3D space, direction cosines, distances, and angles
