5. Question 57. Im poor at coordinate geometry and pathetic with sums involving circles there. Can u cover the concept?

from the equation y = 7.5 - 0.5x
when x = 0 , y = 7.5
when x = 15 , y = 0
so for every 2 times change in x , the value of y changes by 1..
so the eqn is y = 2x ------ (1)
the eqn of the circle is x^2 + y^2 = 20--- (2)
subs (1) in (2)
5x^2 = 20
x = 2
so point where the the line meet circle is (2,4)
the next integral point meet the line y = 7.5 - 0.5x
so the point is (3,6)
a = (3,6) b = (2,4)
using distance formula
ab =sqrt (4 + 1) = sqrt (5)
i guess its clear...
