Solution
If the coordinates of the two points are P(–2, 3) and Q(–3, 5), then (abscissa of P) – (abscissa of Q) is 1.
Explanation:
We have, points P(–2, 3) and Q(–3, 5)
Here, abscissa of P i.e., x-coordinate of P is –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.

A tiling or tessellation of a flat surface is the covering of a plane using one or more geometric shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps and no gaps. Historically, tessellations were used in ancient Rome and in Islamic art. You may find tessellation patterns on floors, walls, paintings etc. Shown below is a tiled floor in the archaeological Museum of Seville, made using squares, triangles and hexagons.
