Question

If the coordinates of two points are $P$$\left(-2,3\right)$ and $Q$$\left(-3,5\right)$ then find abscissa of $P-$ abscissa $Q$

Answer 1

Find the abscissa for the given coordinates

Within the coordinate system $(x,y)$

$x$ stands for abscissa

$y$ stands for ordinate

Given points are $P$$\left(-2,3\right)$ and $Q$$\left(-3,5\right)$

Abscissa of $P$$=-2$

Abscissa of $Q$$=-3$

$\therefore$abscissa of $P-$ abscissa $Q$

$$\begin{gathered} =-2-(-3) \\ =-2+3 \\ =1 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the value of abscissa of $P-$ abscissa $Q$ is $1$.
