AC9M8SP03 — Year 8 Space

Official Curriculum Content Description:

describe the position and location of objects in 3 dimensions in different ways, including using a three-dimensional coordinate system with the use of dynamic geometric software and other digital tools

Worked Examples (1)

Example 13D Cartesian Coordinates
A point in three-dimensional space starts at coordinates (−3,5,1)(-3, 5, 1). If it moves 44 units in the positive xx-direction, find the new coordinates (x,y,z)(x, y, z).
Common mistake: Applied translation to the wrong coordinate axis
Correct Answer:(1,5,1)(1, 5, 1)
Worked Solution:
Starting at (−3,5,1)(-3, 5, 1), moving +4+4 along the xx-axis gives (1,5,1)(1, 5, 1).
