9 The points \(A , B\) and \(C\) have coordinates \(( 5,1 ) , ( p , 7 )\) and \(( 8,2 )\) respectively.
  1. Given that the distance between points \(A\) and \(B\) is twice the distance between points \(A\) and \(C\), calculate the possible values of \(p\).
  2. Given also that the line passing through \(A\) and \(B\) has equation \(y = 3 x - 14\), find the coordinates of the mid-point of \(A B\).
