Answer:

P (6,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

abscissa=a

ordinate=a-3

We know that abscissa is twice the ordinate

So,

=>a=2(a-3)\\=> a = 2a - 6\\=> 6 = 2a - a \\=> 6= a

Thus, a=6

a-3= 6-3 = 3

So, P is (6,3)

Answer:

(6,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinate :(x,y)

x is the abscissa

y is the ordinate

Given point =   P = (a,a-3)

Now we are given that abscissa is twice the ordinate

Abscissa = a

Ordinate = a-3

So, a=2(a-3)

a=2a-6

6=2a-a

6=a

So, Abscissa = a =6

Ordinate = a-3 =6-3=3

So, point P​ = (6,3)
