Question

Write down the abscissa for the following point:

$(-7,2)$

• A. $-7$
• B. $1$
  
• C. $2$
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A $-7$

We know that, the $x-coordinate$ of a point is also known as abscissa and the $y-coordinate$ is known as ordinate.

Hence, the abscissa is the $x–coordinate$ of any point $A(x,y)$.

So, abscissa of point $(–7,2)$ is $–7$.

Hence, option A is correct.
