11 The Cartesian equation of the line \(L _ { 1 }\) is $$\frac { x + 1 } { 3 } = \frac { - y + 5 } { 2 } = \frac { 2 z + 5 } { 3 }$$ The Cartesian equation of the line \(L _ { 2 }\) is $$\frac { 2 x - 1 } { 2 } = \frac { y - 14 } { m } = \frac { z + 12 } { p }$$ The non-singular matrix \(\mathbf { N } = \left[ \begin{array} { c c c } - 0.5 & 1 & 2
1 & b & 4
- 3 & - 2 & c \end{array} \right]\) maps the line \(L _ { 1 }\) onto the line \(L _ { 2 }\)
Calculate the values of the constants \(b , c , m\) and \(p\)
Fully justify your answers.
