Label the coordinates of all the vertices of the prism. Label
the axes.
w =[- 3,4, 1]
Transcribed Image Text::: Sketch the vector below using a prism. Label the coordinates of all the vertices of the prism. Label the axes. w =[- 3,4, 1]
Expert Solution
Step 1: Mark initial points:

Locate the points 

(-3,0,0) on x axis

(0,4,0) on y axis 

(0,0,1)  on z axis 

 

These are the three of the vertices of the prism that we are going to draw. 

After Marking it looks like:

Step 2: From each of the above three points draw lines parallel to the other two axes:

Fourth vertex of the prism is going to be the origin. 

So, Mark origin first. 

secondly, From each of the above three points draw lines parallel to the other two axes stop where they intersect as shown below:

We have half of the prism drawn. 

Now all the other edges of the prism are going to be parallel to these 6 edges obtained as shown. 

 

 

 

 

Step 3: Complete the prism by drawing the parallel lines that should be drawn:

The prism is drawn and we need to name the coordinates of the remaining 4 vertices.
