Answer 1

-7 is the  abscissa since it lies on the x axis.

Answer 2

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Abscissa : The distance from a point to the vertical or y -axis, measured parallel to the horizontal or x -axis is called Abscissa

Let (x,y) be any coordinate

So, x is the distance along x axis

y is the distance along y axis

So, y coordinate denotes The distance from a point to the vertical or y -axis.

So, according to definition y is the abscissa.

Given point : ( -7,-6)

So, According to the definition Abscissa = -6

Hence The abscissa of point (-7,-6) is -6
