  1. Given that
$$\frac { 3 z - 1 } { 2 } = \frac { \lambda + 5 i } { \lambda - 4 i }$$ where \(\lambda\) is a real constant,
  1. determine \(z\), giving your answer in the form \(x + y i\), where \(x\) and \(y\) are real and in terms of \(\lambda\). Given also that \(\arg z = \frac { \pi } { 4 }\)
  2. find the possible values of \(\lambda\).
