Question

If the coordinates of the points are P(-2,3) and Q(-3,5) then the (abscissa of P) - (abscissa of Q) is ​

Answer 1

2 Quadrant, 2 Quadrant

Answer 2

$Given \: P(-2,3) \: and \: Q(-3,5)$

$\blue{i) Abscissa \: of \: P}\\</p><p> = x - coordinate \: of \: P\\</p><p>= -2 \: --(1)$

$\blue{ii) Abscissa \: of \: Q}\\</p><p> = x - coordinate \: of \: Q\\</p><p>= -3 \: --(2)$

$\red{ ( Abscissa \: of \: O) - ( Abscissa \: of \: Q ) }$

$= -2 - ( -3 ) \: [ From \: (1) \: and \: (2) ]$

$= -2 + 3$

$= 1$

Therefore.,

$\red{ ( Abscissa \: of \: O) - ( Abscissa \: of \: Q ) }$

$\green { = 1 }$
