How many of the 8 octants does the plane x+y+z=0x+y+z = 0 intersect?

Note: There are 8 octants in space: for instance, one of them is x>0x>0, y>0y>0, z>0z>0, which can be thought of as (+,+,+)(+,+,+) (all coordinates positive). The other 7 are given by other choices of signs, like (−,+,−)(-,+,-) (which means x,zx,z coordinates negative and yy coordinate positive).
