Question

What is the difference between the ordinates of the points ( -2 , 3 ) and ( 5, 8 ) ?

Answer 1

the difference in the coordinate points is (7, 5)

Explanation:

Given;

first coordinate point, (x₁, y₁) = (-2, 3)

second coordinate point, (x₂, y₂) = (5, 8)

The difference in the coordinate points is calculated as follows;

Δ(x, y) = (x₂ - x₁, y₂ - y₁)

= (5 - -2, 8 - 3)

= (7, 5)

Therefore, the difference in the coordinate points is (7, 5)
