3.5 Graphing Linear Equations in Three Variables

58. Graphing in Three Dimensions
Solutions of equations in three variables can be pictured with a three-dimensional coordinate system.
To construct such a system, begin with the xy-coordinate plane in a horizontal position.
Then draw the z-axis as a vertical line through the origin.
In much the same way that points in a two dimensional coordinate system are represented by ordered pairs, each point in space can be represented by an ordered triple (x, y, z).
Drawing the point represented by an ordered triple is called plotting the point.
The three axes, taken two at a time, determine three coordinate planes that divide space into eight octants.
The first octant is one for which all three coordinates are positive.

59. Plotting Points in Three Dimensions
Plot the ordered triple in a three-dimensional coordinate system.
(–5, 3, 4)
SOLUTION
To plot (–5, 3, 4), it helps to first find the point (–5, 3) in the xy-plane.
The point (–5, 3, 4), lies four units above.

60. Plotting Points in Three Dimensions
Plot the ordered triple in a three-dimensional coordinate system.
(–5, 3, 4)
(3, – 4, –2)
SOLUTION
SOLUTION
To plot (–5, 3, 4), it helps to first find the point (–5, 3) in the xy-plane.
To plot (3, – 4, –2) it helps to first find the point (3, – 4) in the xy-plane.
The point (–5, 3, 4), lies four units above.
The point (3, – 4, –2) lies two units below.

61. Graphing in Three Dimensions
A linear equation in three variables x, y, z is an equation in the form
ax + by + cz = d
where a, b, and c are not all 0.
An ordered triple (x, y, z) is a solution of this equation if the equation is true when the values of x, y, and z are substituted into the equation.
The graph of an equation in three variables is the graph of all its solutions.
The graph of a linear equation in three variables is a plane.
A linear equation in x, y, and z can be written as a function of two variables.
To do this, solve the equation for z. Then replace z with f(x, y).

62. Graphing a Linear Equation in Three Variables
Sketch the graph of 3x + 2y + 4z = 12.
SOLUTION
Begin by finding the points at which the graph intersects the axes.
Let x = 0, and y = 0, and solve for z to get
z = 3.
This tells you that the z-intercept is 3, so plot the point (0, 0, 3).
In a similar way, you can find the x-intercept is 4 and the y-intercept is 6.
After plotting (0, 0, 3), (4, 0, 0) and (0, 6, 0), you can connect these points with lines to form the triangular region of the plane that lies in the first octant.

63. ( ) Evaluating Functions of Two Variables
Write the linear equation 3x + 2y + 4z = 12 as a function of x and y.
Evaluate the function when x = 1 and y = 3. Interpret the result geometrically.
SOLUTION
3x + 2y + 4z = 12
Write original function.
4z = 12 –3x –2y
Isolate z-term. 1 4
(12 – 3x – 2y)
z =
Solve for z. 1 4
(12 – 3x – 2y)
f(x, y) =
Replace z with f(x, y). 1 4
(12 – 3(1) – 2(3))
f(1, 3) = 3 4 =
Evaluate when x = 1 and y = 3.
This tells you that the graph of f contains the point
1, 3, 3 4 ( )
