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.

We draw the orientation of the axes as shown.
