\end{figure} Figure 2 shows a sketch of the curve \(H\) with equation \(y = \frac { 3 } { x } + 4 , x \neq 0\).
  1. Give the coordinates of the point where \(H\) crosses the \(x\)-axis.
  2. Give the equations of the asymptotes to \(H\).
  3. Find an equation for the normal to \(H\) at the point \(P ( - 3,3 )\). This normal crosses the \(x\)-axis at \(A\) and the \(y\)-axis at \(B\).
  4. Find the length of the line segment \(A B\). Give your answer as a surd.
