Consider a circle \(C_1\), passing through origin and lying in region \(0 \le x\) only, with diameter = 10. Consider a chord \(PQ\) of \(C_1\) with equation \(y = x\) and another Circle \(C_2\) which has \(PQ\) as diameter. A chord is drawn to \(C_2\) passing through (2, 3) such that distance of chord from centre of \(C_2\) is maximum has equation \(x + ay + b = 0\) then \(|b - a|\) is equal to :
