Coordinate axes and coordinate planes in three dimensions
In Class 12 Mathematics, this topic from the chapter Introduction to Three-Dimensional Geometry explains how the three mutually perpendicular coordinate axes—x, y and z—form a three-dimensional coordinate system. Students learn to identify the origin, represent a point by an ordered triple (x, y, z), and understand how the xy-, yz- and zx-planes divide space into regions. The topic also develops the use of positive and negative coordinates to locate points and interpret their positions in space.
