This image may not be used in educational posters Cartesian coordinates in three dimensions, computer artwork. At centre is the origin (red). This lies at point 0,0,0, where the X Y and Z axes meet. A point (purple) is in position 7 along the X axis, 5 on the Y axis, and 8 on the Z axis. These coordinates are written as (7,5,8). Shadows of the purple point are cast on each of the three perpendicular planes. The three coordinates (x,y,z) can specify a point anywhere in three dimensional space.
