3D Cartesian Coordinate System

3D Cartesian Coordinate System Properties:

• x-axis is the horizontal axis
• y-axis is the vertical axis 
• z-axis is axis perpendicular to the x-y plane, pointing outward or inward.
  • Look into left hand and right hand rule
• The point of intersection of the axes is called the Origin, denoted as (0,0,0).
• A point in the plane is represented by an ordered pair (x, y, z)
• A vector in space is represented in above image, where the tail sits on the Origin extends to the arrow tip
