If a point is on the x-axis, then its y-coordinates and z-coordinates are zero.
If a point is in the XZ plane, then its y-coordinate is zero.
The x-coordinate, y-coordinate, and z-coordinate of point (1, 2, 3) are all positive. Therefore, this point lies in octant I.
The x-coordinate, y-coordinate, and z-coordinate of point (4, –2, 3) are positive, negative, and positive respectively. Therefore, this point lies in octant IV.
The x-coordinate, y-coordinate, and z-coordinate of point (4, –2, –5) are positive, negative, and negative respectively. Therefore, this point lies in octant VIII.
The x-coordinate, y-coordinate, and z-coordinate of point (4, 2, –5) are positive, positive, and negative respectively. Therefore, this point lies in octant V.
The x-coordinate, y-coordinate, and z-coordinate of point (–4, 2, –5) are negative, positive, and negative respectively. Therefore, this point lies in octant VI.
The x-coordinate, y-coordinate, and z-coordinate of point (–4, 2, 5) are negative, positive, and positive respectively. Therefore, this point lies in octant II.
The x-coordinate, y-coordinate, and z-coordinate of point (–3, –1, 6) are negative, negative, and positive respectively. Therefore, this point lies in octant III.
The x-coordinate, y-coordinate, and z-coordinate of point (2, –4, –7) are positive, negative, and negative respectively. Therefore, this point lies in octant VIII.
