2 The variables \(x\) and \(y\) satisfy the equation \(y ^ { 3 } = A \mathrm { e } ^ { 2 x }\), where \(A\) is a constant. The graph of \(\ln y\) against \(x\) is a straight line.
  1. Find the gradient of this line.
  2. Given that the line intersects the axis of \(\ln y\) at the point where \(\ln y = 0.5\), find the value of \(A\) correct to 2 decimal places.
