4 ways this goes wrong. Each one is a named misconception the questions are built to catch.
- 3D distance formula errorErrs applying the 3D distance formula (sign or missing term).→
- 3D reflection negates wrong coordinateNegates the wrong coordinate (y vs z), or negates all, when reflecting across a coordinate plane.→
- 3D symmetry type confusedConfuses reflection across an axis, a plane, and the origin by misreading which coordinates flip sign.→
- Axis vs coordinate plane confusedConfuses lying on an axis with lying in a coordinate plane (e.g. one zero coordinate).→
