  1. Find the gradient of \(A B\).
  2. The point \(D\) has coordinates \(( 3,7 )\).
    1. Find an equation of the line \(D C\).
    2. The angle \(B A D\) is a right angle. Find an equation of the line \(A D\), giving your answer in the form \(m x + n y + p = 0\), where \(m , n\) and \(p\) are integers.
  3. The line \(B C\) has equation \(5 y - x = 6\). Find the coordinates of \(B\).
