7 The point \(A\) has coordinates \(( p , 1 )\) and the point \(B\) has coordinates \(( 9,3 p + 1 )\), where \(p\) is a constant.
  1. For the case where the distance \(A B\) is 13 units, find the possible values of \(p\).
  2. For the case in which the line with equation \(2 x + 3 y = 9\) is perpendicular to \(A B\), find the value of \(p\).
