Question

if the coordinates of the two points are A(-2,5) and B(-7,8) then find (abscissa of B)-(abscissa of A)

Answer 1

Abscissa of A = -2 and of B =-7
Abscissa of B - abscissa of a
(-7)-(-2)
-7+2
-5

Answer 2

Answer:

Concept: abscissa is the first number of the coordinate given.

Given: if the coordinates of the two points are A(-2,5) and B(-7,8)

To find: find (abscissa of B)-(abscissa of A)

Step-by-step explanation:

as we know that in a graph ,  where the point is placed, the position of the point is defined as the coordinate.

the coordinate is stated as the combination of x axis  and y axis.

And the two numbers of the coordinate is called by a  name which is abscissa and ordinate.

abscissa is the  first number of the coordinate and ordinate is the second number of the coordinate .

so, the coordinate given $a(-2,5)$ , here abscissa is -2 and ordinate is 5.

and the  other coordinate given $b(-7,8)$ , here abscissa is -7 and ordinate is 8.

so, question asked to find (abscissa of B)-(abscissa of A)

so, $-7-(-2)$

or, $-7+2$

or, $-5$

so, the answer is -5.
