Worked solution

22(a)

1. Find the y-intercept P by setting $x=0$.

At P, the line crosses the y-axis, so x=0x=0.

y=−10+2(0)=−10y=-10+2(0)=-10

Hence, P is (0,−10)(0,-10).

2. Find the x-intercept Q by setting $y=0$.

At Q, the line crosses the x-axis, so y=0y=0.

0=−10+2x0=-10+2x

2x=102x=10

x=5x=5

Hence, Q is (5,0)(5,0).

Answer

P(0,−10)(0,-10)

Q(5,0)(5,0)

22(b)

1. Substitute the coordinates of P and Q into the distance formula.

P(0,−10)(0,-10) and Q(5,0)(5,0)

PQ=(5−0)2+(0−(−10))2PQ=\sqrt{(5-0)^2+(0-(-10))^2}

2. Evaluate and simplify the length.

PQ=52+102PQ=\sqrt{5^2+10^2}
=25+100=\sqrt{25+100}
=125=55=\sqrt{125}=5\sqrt{5}

Answer

555\sqrt{5} units
