Salas, Hille, Main Menu Rectangular Space Coordinates Right-hand rule : if the fingers of the right hand are curled from the positive x - axis toward the positive y -axis (the short route), the thumb points along the positive z -axis. The point on the x -axis with x -coordinate x 0 is given space coordinates ( x 0 , 0 , 0); the point on the y -axis with y -coordinate y 0 is given space coordinates (0 , y 0 , 0); the point on the z -axis with z -coordinate z 0 is given space coordinates (0 , 0 , z 0 ).
Salas, Hille, Main Menu Rectangular Space Coordinates There are now three coordinate planes; the xy -plane, the xz -plane, the yz -plane. A point P in three-dimensional space is assigned coordinates ( x 0 , y 0 , z 0 ) provided that (1) the plane through P which is parallel to the yz -plane intersects the x -axis at ( x 0 , 0 , 0), (2) the plane through P which is parallel to the xz -plane intersects the y -axis at (0 , y 0 , 0), (3) the plane through P which is parallel to the xy -plane intersects the z
