7 The straight line \(l\) has equation \(\mathbf { r } = 4 \mathbf { i } - \mathbf { j } + 2 \mathbf { k } + \lambda ( 2 \mathbf { i } - 3 \mathbf { j } + 6 \mathbf { k } )\). The plane \(p\) passes through the point \(( 4 , - 1,2 )\) and is perpendicular to \(l\).
  1. Find the equation of \(p\), giving your answer in the form \(a x + b y + c z = d\).
  2. Find the perpendicular distance from the origin to \(p\).
  3. A second plane \(q\) is parallel to \(p\) and the perpendicular distance between \(p\) and \(q\) is 14 units. Find the possible equations of \(q\).
