The document describes three reference systems for representing the position of a point: 1) One dimension that uses a single coordinate along a line, 2) Two dimensions that use two perpendicular axes (x,y) and two coordinates in a plane, and 3) Three dimensions that use three perpendicular axes (x,y,z) and three coordinates in three-dimensional space.

Draw a reference system in one dimension and another in two.
dimensions and a third one in three dimensions and represent them on it
the position of a point
1) One dimension: it consists only of a straight line, with its marks to be able to
identify a point on the line. Use a single coordinate.
An example would be the position of a buoy on a straight line track.
2) Two dimensions: it consists of two perpendicular axes (lines), x, y. It is used
to represent positions on a plane or surface (like a table).
Requires two coordinates.
An example would be the position of an ant on a table.
3) Three dimensions: it consists of three perpendicular axes, x, y, z. It is used for
represent positions in space.
It requires three coordinates.
An example would be the position of a fly flying in a room.
One dimension:
This means that it can only represent the position along a
line (as if it were the position of an insect walking on a
thin straight string.
Representation:
2) Two dimensions:
It allows representing the position on a plane, that is, a surface.
(as if it were the position of an ant walking on a table
or on the floor). Two axes (x,y) are used and the points are represented with
two coordinates (x,y)
Y
The green point shows the position in the coordinate system.
Debes agregar las divisiones en los ejes, que es lo que permite
assign the coordinates of the point, (x,y), for example, the point could
red could be (2, 6).
3) Three dimensions.
Allows to represent the position in space, through the use of three
axes (x, y, z) and three coordinates (one for each axis).
It's like representing the position of a fly that is flying in a
fourth.
You must place the divisions on the three axes and therefore mark them.
coordinates (x,y,z) of the point. The drawn point could be (2,2,2).
