Question

. If the coordinates of the points A and B are A( - 3, 4) and B(-6, 6), then find the difference

of abscissa of A and abscissa of B.

Answer 1

Read Carefully

Explanation:

To find the difference of the abscissa (x-coordinate) of point A and the abscissa of point B, we subtract the x-coordinate of B from the x-coordinate of A.

Given:

Point A: A(-3, 4)

Point B: B(-6, 6)

The abscissa of A is -3 and the abscissa of B is -6.

Difference of abscissa of A and abscissa of B = x-coordinate of A - x-coordinate of B

= (-3) - (-6)

= -3 + 6

= 3

Therefore, the difference of the abscissa of point A and the abscissa of point B is 3.
