7. The point \(A\) with coordinates ( \(- 3,7,2\) ) lies on a line \(l _ { 1 }\) The point \(B\) also lies on the line \(l _ { 1 }\) Given that \(\quad \overrightarrow { A B } = \left( \begin{array} { r } 4
- 6
2 \end{array} \right)\),
  1. find the coordinates of point \(B\). The point \(P\) has coordinates ( \(9,1,8\) )
  2. Find the cosine of the angle \(P A B\), giving your answer as a simplified surd.
  3. Find the exact area of triangle \(P A B\), giving your answer in its simplest form. The line \(l _ { 2 }\) passes through the point \(P\) and is parallel to the line \(l _ { 1 }\)
  4. Find a vector equation for the line \(l _ { 2 }\) The point \(Q\) lies on the line \(l _ { 2 }\) Given that the line segment \(A P\) is perpendicular to the line segment \(B Q\),
  5. find the coordinates of the point \(Q\).
