(a) For each fixed $y_0$, $z=x,\ y=y_0$ is a straight line that lies in the plane, $y=y_0$ (which is parallel to the plane containing the $x$ and $z$ axes and is a distance $y_0$ from it). This line passes through $x=z=0$ and makes an angle $45^\circ$ with the $xy$–plane. Such a line (with $y_0=0$) is sketched in the figure below. The set $z=x$ is the union of all the lines $z=x,\ y=y_0$ with all values of $y_0$. As $y_0$ varies $z=x,\ y=y_0$ sweeps out the plane which contains the $y$–axis and which makes an angle $45^\circ$ with the $xy$–plane. Here is a sketch of the part of the plane that is in the first octant.

(b) $x+y+z=1$ is the plane through the points $(1,0,0)$, $(0,1,0)$ and $(0,0,1)$. Here is a sketch of the part of the plane that is in the first octant.

(c) $x^2+y^2+z^2$ is the square of the distance from $(0,0,0)$ to $(x,y,z)$. So $x^2+y^2+z^2=4$ is the set of points whose distance from $(0,0,0)$ is $2$. It is the sphere with centre $(0,0,0)$ and radius 2. Here is a sketch of the part of the sphere that is in the first octant.

(d) $x^2+y^2+z^2=4$, $z=1$ or equivalently $x^2+y^2=3$, $z=1$, is the intersection of the plane $z=1$ with the sphere of centre $(0,0,0)$ and radius 2. It is a circle in the plane $z=1$ that has centre $(0,0,1)$ and radius $\sqrt{3}$. The part of the circle in the first octant is the heavy quarter circle in the sketch

(e) For each fixed $z_0$, $x^2+y^2=4$, $z=z_0$ is a circle in the plane $z=z_0$ with centre $(0,0,z_0)$ and radius $2$. So $x^2+y^2=4$ is the union of $x^2+y^2=4,\ z=z_0$ for all possible values of $z_0$. It is a vertical stack of horizontal circles. It is the cylinder of radius $2$ centered on the $z$–axis. Here is a sketch of the part of the cylinder that is in the first octant.

(f) For each fixed $z_0\ge 0$, the curve $z = x^2 + y^2,\ z=z_0$ is the circle in the plane $z=z_0$ with centre $(0,0,z_0)$ and radius $\sqrt{z_0}$. As $z = x^2 + y^2$ is the union of $z = x^2 + y^2,\ z=z_0$ for all possible values of $z_0\ge 0$, it is a vertical stack of horizontal circles. The intersection of the surface with the $yz$–plane is the parabola $z=y^2$. Here is a sketch of the part of the paraboloid that is in the first octant.
