7 The lines \(l _ { 1 }\) and \(l _ { 2 }\) have equations $$\begin{aligned} & l _ { 1 } : \mathbf { r } = \left[ \begin{array} { c } 3
1
- 2 \end{array} \right] + \lambda \left[ \begin{array} { c } 3
- 4
1 \end{array} \right]
& l _ { 2 } : \mathbf { r } = \left[ \begin{array} { c } - 12
a
- 3 \end{array} \right] + \mu \left[ \begin{array} { c } 3
2
- 1 \end{array} \right] \end{aligned}$$ 7
  1. Show that the point \(P ( - 3,9 , - 4 )\) lies on \(l _ { 1 }\)
    7
  2. Show that \(l _ { 1 }\) is perpendicular to \(l _ { 2 }\)
    7
  3. Given that the lines \(l _ { 1 }\) and \(l _ { 2 }\) intersect, calculate the value of the constant \(a\) 7
  4. Hence, find the coordinates of the point of intersection of \(l _ { 1 }\) and \(l _ { 2 }\)
