The equations can be rewritten as

line : y = 5x + 10

parabola : y = x2 + 4

They intersect when 5x + 10 = x2 + 4

that is, x2 - 5x - 6 = 0

or (x + 1)(x - 6) = 0

so x = -1 or x = 6

When x = -1, y = 5 so one end of the line is (-1, 5)

when x = 6, y = 40 so the other end is (6, 40)

Then, by Pythagoras, length of line = sqrt[(6 - (-1))2 + (40 - 5)2]

= sqrt[72 + 352] = sqrt[1274] = 35.7 units.
