Graphing Points in Three Variables AII, 2.0: Students solve systems of linear equations and inequalities (in two or three variables) by substitution, with graphs, or with matrices. LA, 6.0: Students demonstrate an understanding that linear systems are inconsistent (have no solutions), have exactly one solution, or have infinitely many solutions
Graphing Points in Three Variables Objectives Key Words Three-dimensional coordinate system Z-axis Ordered triple Origin (0,0,0) Octanes xz-plane yz-plane xy-plane • Describe the location of each point in relation to the origin • Write the coordinates of each point • Plot points in three dimensions
Pre-requisite Check Graph an ordered pair (x,y) • (4,2) • (-2,3) • (-3,-1) • (1,-4)
Describe the location of each point in relation to the origin For the x-axis: Positive Direction: Move Forward Like jumping out of the paper Negative Direction: Moving Back Like going behind the paper For the y-axis: Positive Direction: Moving Right Negative Direction: Moving Left For the z-axis: Positive Direction: Moving Up Negative Direction: Moving Down
Write the coordinates of each point (1,-4,3) It takes a few steps to solve these types of problems: What direction is it moving on the x-axis? How much? This is you x value. What direction is it moving on the y-axis? How much? This is you y value. What direction is it moving on the z-axis? How much? This is you z value. Write the ordered triple (x,y,z)
Plot points in three dimensions Example: Mark the x value direction Mark the y value direction Find the point of intersection Travel the z value direction (upward or downward) Plot the point.
Conclusions Summary Assignment To be completed in class Worksheet: Points in Three Dimensions • What are the directions you travel to plot the points of an ordered triple where the x, y, and z values are positive? • For the x, forward • For the y, right • For the z, upward
