Question

Question 15
If the coordinates of the two points are P(-2, 3) and Q(-3, 5), the (Abscissa of P) - (Abscissa of Q) is

A) -5
B) 1
C) -1
D) -2

Answer 1

The answer is B.
We have, points P(-2, 3) and Q(-3, 5).
Here, the abscissa of P i.e x-coordinate of P is -2 and abscissa of Q. i.e x-coordinate of Q is -3.
So, (Abscissa of P) - (abscissa of Q) = -2 - (-3) = -2 + 3 = 1
