In three dimensions, the coordinate axes of a rectangular cartesian coordinate s

In three dimensions, the coordinate axes of a rectangular cartesian coordinate system are

  • A. three mutually parallel lines
  • B. three mutually perpendicular lines
  • C. two mutually perpendicular lines and any two parallel
  • D. None of these

Step-by-step solution

In a three-dimensional rectangular Cartesian coordinate system, the x, y, and z axes are mutually perpendicular by definition, allowing orthogonal decomposition of points.
