\end{figure} In Fig.10, A has coordinates \(( 1,1 )\) and C has coordinates \(( 3,5 )\). M is the mid-point of AC . The line \(l\) is perpendicular to AC.
  1. Find the coordinates of M . Hence find the equation of \(l\).
  2. The point B has coordinates \(( - 2,5 )\). Show that B lies on the line \(l\).
    Find the coordinates of the point D such that ABCD is a rhombus.
  3. Find the lengths MC and MB . Hence calculate the area of the rhombus ABCD .
