Co-ordinate of a point -

Consider a point P(a,b,c) in space and drop a perpendicular from it on XY plane the algebraic length of this perpendicular is called z cordinate. Now from this point draw perpendiculars to X and Y axes, the algebraic length of these perpendiculars is known as x and y co-ordinate respectively.

- wherein

 

 a will be z-coordinate = -3

 b will be x-coordinate = -1

 c will be y-coordinate = 2

\therefore a-b+c = -3-(-1)+2=0
