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.
