  1. Relative to a fixed origin \(O\)
  • point \(A\) has position vector \(10 \mathbf { i } - 3 \mathbf { j }\)
  • point \(B\) has position vector \(- 8 \mathbf { i } + 9 \mathbf { j }\)
  • point \(C\) has position vector \(- 2 \mathbf { i } + p \mathbf { j }\) where \(p\) is a constant
    1. Find \(\overrightarrow { A B }\)
    2. Find \(| \overrightarrow { A B } |\) giving your answer as a fully simplified surd.
Given that points \(A , B\) and \(C\) lie on a straight line,
    1. find the value of \(p\),
    2. state the ratio of the area of triangle \(A O C\) to the area of triangle \(A O B\).
