The correct Answer is:
To determine the octant in which each point lies, we need to analyze the signs of the coordinates (x, y, z) for each point. The octants in three-dimensional space are defined based on the signs of these coordinates. Here’s a breakdown of the octants: 1. **1st Octant**: x > 0, y > 0, z > 0 2. **2nd Octant**: x < 0, y > 0, z > 0 3. **3rd Octant**: x < 0, y < 0, z > 0 4. **4th Octant**: x > 0, y < 0, z > 0 5. **5th Octant**: x > 0, y > 0, z < 0 6. **6th Octant**: x < 0, y > 0, z < 0 7. **7th Octant**: x < 0, y < 0, z < 0 8. **8th Octant**: x > 0, y < 0, z < 0 Now, let's analyze each point step by step: ### Step 1: Analyze Point (2, 3, -5) - x = 2 (positive) - y = 3 (positive) - z = -5 (negative) Since x > 0, y > 0, and z < 0, this point lies in the **5th Octant**. ### Step 2: Analyze Point (-3, 1, 4) - x = -3 (negative) - y = 1 (positive) - z = 4 (positive) Since x < 0, y > 0, and z > 0, this point lies in the **2nd Octant**. ### Step 3: Analyze Point (-1, -1, 2) - x = -1 (negative) - y = -1 (negative) - z = 2 (positive) Since x < 0, y < 0, and z > 0, this point lies in the **3rd Octant**. ### Step 4: Analyze Point (1, 1, 3) - x = 1 (positive) - y = 1 (positive) - z = 3 (positive) Since x > 0, y > 0, and z > 0, this point lies in the **1st Octant**. ### Step 5: Analyze Point (-5, -4, -1) - x = -5 (negative) - y = -4 (negative) - z = -1 (negative) Since x < 0, y < 0, and z < 0, this point lies in the **7th Octant**. ### Step 6: Analyze Point (4, -1, 2) - x = 4 (positive) - y = -1 (negative) - z = 2 (positive) Since x > 0, y < 0, and z > 0, this point lies in the **4th Octant**. ### Summary of Results: 1. (2, 3, -5) → 5th Octant 2. (-3, 1, 4) → 2nd Octant 3. (-1, -1, 2) → 3rd Octant 4. (1, 1, 3) → 1st Octant 5. (-5, -4, -1) → 7th Octant 6. (4, -1, 2) → 4th Octant
