if the coordinates of two points are P(-6,3) and Q (-8,5),then find (abscissa of P) -(abscissa of Q)
Answers
(b) We have, points P(- 2, 3) and Q(- 3, 5)
Here, abscissa of Pi.e., x-coordinate of Pis -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.
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
Concept= Coordinate Geometry
Given= Points P and Q
To find= Difference between abscissa
Explanation=
Co ordinate are the Points on the line denoted by (x,y).
Here x is known as abscissa and y as ordinate.
Abscissa is the point on x-axis.
Ordinate is the point on y-axis.
So, in the given points,
P(-6,3)
The abscissa of P is -6
The ordinate of P is 3
Q(-8,5)
The abscissa of Q is -8
The ordinate of Q is 5
We have to now find (abscissa of P) -(abscissa of Q)
=> (-6) - (-8)
=> -6 + 8
=> 2
Therefore, the value of (abscissa of P) -(abscissa of Q) is 2.
