Answer

Step-by-step solution:

  1. Understand the axes:
  • The x-axis runs horizontally.
  • The y-axis runs diagonally in the plane.
  • The z-axis runs vertically.
  1. Locate the point (4, 6, 8):
  • x = 4: Move 4 units along the x-axis from the origin.
  • y = 6: Move 6 units along the y-axis from the origin.
  • z = 8: Move 8 units upward along the z-axis from the origin.
  1. Plotting the point:
  • From the origin, move 4 units in the x-direction.
  • From that position, move 6 units in the y-direction.
  • Then, move vertically upward 8 units along the z-axis.
  1. Identify the point:
  • The point (4, 6, 8) is located in the positive octant, above and to the right of the origin in the 3D space.

Answer:
The point (4, 6, 8) is located in the positive octant, approximately 4 units along x, 6 units along y, and 8 units upward along z.

Note: The red dashed line in the image indicates the vertical movement from the x-y plane at the point (4, 6) up to the height 8 along z, confirming the position of the point in 3D space.
