• Determine the point of division and the midpoint of
a line segment.
• Sketch a plane in three dimensional system.
Two-Dimensional (2D) Coordinate
System

Recall:
To locate a point in an xy-plane, two numbers are necessary.
We know that any point in the plane can be represented as an ordered
pair (a, b) of real numbers.
where a is the x-coordinate and b is the y-coordinate.
For this reason, a plane is called two-dimensional.
Three Dimensional Geometry
Let OX, OY, and OZ be three mutually perpendicular lines. These
lines constitute the x-axis, the y-axis, and the z-axis of a three-
dimensional rectangular coordinate system. The axes, in pairs,
determine three mutually perpendicular planes called coordinate
planes. The planes are designated as the XOY-plane, the XOZ-
plane, and the YOZ-plane or, more simply, the xy-plane, the xz-
plane, and the yz-plane. The coordinate planes divide space into
eight regions called octants. The distance of P from the yz-plane is
called the x-coordinate, the distance from the xz-plane the y-
coordinate, and the distance from the xy-plane the z-coordinate.
The coordinates of a point are written in the form (x, y, z), in this
order, x first, y second, and z third.
Coordinate Planes

The three coordinate axes determine


the three coordinate planes.
The xy-plane contains the x- and y-axes.
The yz-plane contains the y- and z-axes.
The xz-plane contains the x- and z-axes.
Three-Dimensional (3D) Coordinate System

To locate a point in space, three numbers are required.


We represent any point in space by an ordered triple (a, b, c) of real
numbers.
where a is the x-coordinate, b is the y-coordinate, c is the z-coordinate

Coordinate Axes
We draw the orientation of the axes as shown.
Example:
