The line â„“1 passes through the point A(2,1) and has gradient 2.

The line â„“2 passes through the points (7,4) and (10,3).

Given that the lines intersect at the point B, find the length AB, giving your answer in the form k5 for some k∈N.


To find the point of intersection, you can use simultaneous equations on the equations of the lines.


Here is a diagram:

You will need to use the distance formula on the coordinates of A and B. (The point B has integer coordinates.)
