\end{figure} The line \(l _ { 1 }\), shown in Figure 2 has equation \(2 x + 3 y = 26\)
The line \(l _ { 2 }\) passes through the origin \(O\) and is perpendicular to \(l _ { 1 }\)
  1. Find an equation for the line \(l _ { 2 }\) The line \(l _ { 2 }\) intersects the line \(l _ { 1 }\) at the point \(C\). Line \(l _ { 1 }\) crosses the \(y\)-axis at the point \(B\) as shown in Figure 2.
  2. Find the area of triangle \(O B C\). Give your answer in the form \(\frac { a } { b }\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are integers to be found.
    a) \(L _ { 1 } : 2 x + 3 y = 26\)

    y = 3 / 2 x \end{gathered}$$ \includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{2217be5e-8edd-413f-9c97-212e585ff58d-17_2257_51_315_34}
    b) \(A = \frac { 6 x h } { 2 } \quad L _ { 1 } : 2 x + 3 y = 26\) $$L _ { 2 } : y = 3 / 2 x$$ At B: \(x = 0 : 0 + 3 y = 26 y = 26 / 3\) At C: \(2 x + 3 \left( \frac { 3 x } { 2 } \right) = 26\)
    \(\therefore x = 4\)
    \(A = \frac { 4 \times 26 } { 3 } = 52 / 3\)
