Question

If the coordinates of the two points are $P(-2,3)$ and $Q(-3,5)$, then $\left(\text{Abscissa of}ofP\right)-\left(\text{Abscissa of}Q\right)$ is

• A. $-5$
• B. $1$
• C. $-1$
• D. $-2$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $1$

Abscissa of $P(-2,3)=-2$

Abscissa of $Q(-3,5)=-3$

$\left(\text{Abscissa of}P\right)-\left(\text{Abscissa of}Q\right)=-2-(-3)=-2+3=1$

Hence, $\left(B\right)$ is the correct answer.
