A is the point (2, 3) and B is the point (3, -5). Find AB.

  1. (a)(i)A is the point (2, 3) and B is the point (3, -5). Find AB.[2]
  2. (a)(ii)BC = (-4, 3) Find the coordinates of C.[1]
  3. (a)(iii)|AD|= √74 and D = (-3, n). Find the possible values of n.[3]
  4. (b)OQRP is a parallelogram. OP = p and OQ = q. K is the midpoint of OQ and L is a point on PR. KL = p - 1/10 q. Find PL: LR. [Figure 12.B][3]
