11.1 The Three-Dimensional Coordinate System

The 3-D coordinate system is formed by passing a z-axis perpendicular to both the x-axis and y-axis at the origin.

x = directed distance from yz-plane to P
y = directed distance frim xz-plane to P
z = directed distance from xy-plane to P



Example: Find the distance between (1, 0, 2) and (2, 4,-3)
