00:01 Hello friends, in this question, we need to find the coordinates of the position.
00:04 Here, the position of an object, position of an object in the space can be represented by the oriented rate of x, comma, y, comma, z.
00:21 Where the coordinates x, y, and z represents the distance from origin to the axis.
00:37 So initially the starting point is 0 .0 .0 .0 .0.
00:54 And when a distance of 4 units is moved in the positive direction, the point will be at 4 .0 .0...
