If A(2,3) and B(-5,3) are two points on coordinate axes then the valueof ‘(abscissa of A) + (abscissa of B)’ is

1. Break Down the Problem

To find the value of '(abscissa of A) + (abscissa of B)', we need to identify the abscissas (x-coordinates) of both points A and B.

2. Relevant Concepts

The abscissa of a point in a Cartesian coordinate system is its x-coordinate. For the points given:

• Point A has coordinates $A(2, 3)$
• Point B has coordinates $B(-5, 3)$

3. Analysis and Detail

Now we can identify the abscissas:

• Abscissa of A: $2$
• Abscissa of B: $-5$

Next, we will calculate the sum of the abscissas: $\text{Sum} = \text{(abscissa of A)} + \text{(abscissa of B)} = 2 + (-5)$

4. Verify and Summarize

Calculating the sum: $2 - 5 = -3$

Final Answer

The value of '(abscissa of A) + (abscissa of B)' is $-3$.
