To get the P coordinate, put the X value into the equation of the line (y=5x+1). Hint: coordinates are (x, y)
To get the Q coordinate, it's a bit more complicated however follows a similar method.
In this case, both "positions" have a 'q' in them. Therefore to solve for the q, you put it back into the equation for the line.
So (3q-2) = 5(q+1) + 1 and then solve for q.
For the second part, it's just pythagoras
