17 The diagram shows parallelogram \(ABCD\).

Parallelogram ABCD drawn on x and y axes with origin O; A is lowest, B is above A, C is to the upper right and D is to the lower right

Diagram NOT accurately drawn

\(\overrightarrow{AB} = \begin{pmatrix}2\\7\end{pmatrix} \qquad \overrightarrow{AC} = \begin{pmatrix}10\\11\end{pmatrix}\)

The point \(B\) has coordinates (5, 8)

(a) Work out the coordinates of the point \(C\). (3)

The point \(E\) has coordinates (63, 211)

(b) Use a vector method to prove that \(ABE\) is a straight line. (2)
