\end{figure} Figure 2 Figure 2 shows a right angled triangle \(L M N\). The points \(L\) and \(M\) have coordinates ( \(- 1,2\) ) and ( \(7 , - 4\) ) respectively.
  1. Find an equation for the straight line passing through the points \(L\) and \(M\). Give your answer in the form \(a x + b y + c = 0\), where \(a\), \(b\) and \(c\) are integers. Given that the coordinates of point \(N\) are ( \(16 , p\) ), where \(p\) is a constant, and angle \(L M N = 90 ^ { \circ }\),
  2. find the value of \(p\). Given that there is a point \(K\) such that the points \(L , M , N\), and \(K\) form a rectangle,
  3. find the \(y\) coordinate of \(K\).
