The correct Answer is:
To find the coordinates of points A, B, and C given that point P has coordinates (a, b, c), we can analyze the positions of these points in relation to the axes in a three-dimensional coordinate system. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the coordinates of point A**: - Point A lies on the x-axis. - By definition, any point on the x-axis has a y-coordinate and a z-coordinate of zero. - Therefore, the coordinates of point A can be expressed as: \[ A = (a, 0, 0) \] 2. **Identify the coordinates of point B**: - Point B lies on the y-axis. - Similarly, any point on the y-axis has an x-coordinate and a z-coordinate of zero. - Thus, the coordinates of point B are: \[ B = (0, b, 0) \] 3. **Identify the coordinates of point C**: - Point C lies on the z-axis. - Any point on the z-axis has an x-coordinate and a y-coordinate of zero. - Therefore, the coordinates of point C are: \[ C = (0, 0, c) \] ### Final Coordinates: - The coordinates of A, B, and C are: - \( A = (a, 0, 0) \) - \( B = (0, b, 0) \) - \( C = (0, 0, c) \)
