\end{figure} The points \(P ( 0,2 )\) and \(Q ( 3,7 )\) lie on the line \(l _ { 1 }\), as shown in Figure 2.
The line \(l _ { 2 }\) is perpendicular to \(l _ { 1 }\), passes through \(Q\) and crosses the \(x\)-axis at the point \(R\), as shown in Figure 2. Find
  1. an equation for \(l _ { 2 }\), giving your answer in the form \(a x + b y + c = 0\), where \(a\), b and \(c\) are integers,
  2. the exact coordinates of \(R\),
  3. the exact area of the quadrilateral \(O R Q P\), where \(O\) is the origin.
