Representation of motion

How is motion represented ?
Motion is defined as the change in position of a body with respect to its surrounding.

Motion is classified as one dimensional ,two dimensional & three dimensional in the basis of number of reference points.

One dimensional motion only needs an axis[x,y or z] to be represented.For example,a freely falling body.
In two dimensional motion, it requires two axes to represent motion.For example, motion of objects moving in a plane.


In three dimensional motion, it requires three axes to represent motion , motion of objects through space.The motion of a roller coaster is it's example.
