A point P is moving along a curve in such a way that the x-coordinate of P is increasing at a constant rate of 2 units per minute. The equation of the curve is \(y = (5x - 1)^{1/2}\).

\((a) Find the rate at which the y-coordinate is increasing when x = 1. [4]\)

(b) Find the value of x when the y-coordinate is increasing at \(\frac{5}{8}\) units per minute. [3]
