Dilara is designing a kite ABCD on a set of coordinate axes in which one unit represents
10 cm. The coordinates of A, B and C are (2, 0), (0, 4) and (4, 6) respectively. Point D lies
on the 𝑥𝑥-axis. [AC] is perpendicular to [BD]. This information is shown in the following
diagram.

Two schools are represented by points A(2, 20) and B(14, 24) on the graph below. A
road, represented by the line 𝑅𝑅 with equation −𝑥𝑥 + 𝑦𝑦 = 4, passes near the schools. An
architect is asked to determine the location of a new bus stop on the road such that it is the
same distance from the two schools.
