7 The plane \(m\) has equation \(x + 4 y - 8 z = 2\). The plane \(n\) is parallel to \(m\) and passes through the point \(P\) with coordinates \(( 5,2 , - 2 )\).
  1. Find the equation of \(n\), giving your answer in the form \(a x + b y + c z = d\).
  2. Calculate the perpendicular distance between \(m\) and \(n\).
  3. The line \(l\) lies in the plane \(n\), passes through the point \(P\) and is perpendicular to \(O P\), where \(O\) is the origin. Find a vector equation for \(l\).
