6 The line \(l _ { 1 }\) passes through the point \(A ( 0,6,9 )\) and the point \(B ( 4 , - 6 , - 11 )\).
The line \(l _ { 2 }\) has equation \(\mathbf { r } = \left[ \begin{array} { r } - 1
5
- 2 \end{array} \right] + \lambda \left[ \begin{array} { r } 3
- 5
1 \end{array} \right]\).
  1. The acute angle between the lines \(l _ { 1 }\) and \(l _ { 2 }\) is \(\theta\). Find the value of \(\cos \theta\) as a fraction in its lowest terms.
  2. Show that the lines \(l _ { 1 }\) and \(l _ { 2 }\) intersect and find the coordinates of the point of intersection.
  3. The points \(C\) and \(D\) lie on line \(l _ { 2 }\) such that \(A C B D\) is a parallelogram.
