AB = (-3, 5) Calculate |AB|.

  1. (a)(i)AB = (-3, 5) Calculate |AB|.[2]
  2. (a)(ii)(a)AC = (6, 2) and C is the point (10, -1). Find the coordinates of the point A.[1]
  3. (a)(ii)(b)B is the midpoint of AD. Find the coordinates of the point D.[2]
  4. (b)(i)The diagram shows triangle OPQ. [Figure 10.1] OP = p and OQ = q. R is the point on OQ such that OR = 2RQ. S is the midpoint of PQ. Express, as simply as possible, in terms of p and/or q PQ,[1]
  5. (b)(ii)OS,[2]
  6. (b)(iii)SR.[2]
