The gradients of \(A B , A C\) and \(B C\) are \(2 m , - 2 m\) and \(m\) respectively, where \(m\) is a positive constant.
  1. Find the gradient of \(A B\) and deduce the value of \(m\).
  2. Find the coordinates of \(C\). The perpendicular bisector of \(A B\) meets \(B C\) at \(D\).
  3. Find the coordinates of \(D\).
