\end{figure} Figure 2 shows the straight line \(l _ { 1 }\) with equation \(4 y = 5 x + 12\)
  1. State the gradient of \(l _ { 1 }\) The line \(l _ { 2 }\) is parallel to \(l _ { 1 }\) and passes through the point \(E ( 12,5 )\), as shown in Figure 2.
  2. Find the equation of \(l _ { 2 }\). Write your answer in the form \(y = m x + c\), where \(m\) and \(c\) are constants to be determined. The line \(l _ { 2 }\) cuts the \(x\)-axis at the point \(C\) and the \(y\)-axis at the point \(B\).
  3. Find the coordinates of
    1. the point \(B\),
    2. the point \(C\). The line \(l _ { 1 }\) cuts the \(y\)-axis at the point \(A\).
      The point \(D\) lies on \(l _ { 1 }\) such that \(A B C D\) is a parallelogram, as shown in Figure 2.
  4. Find the area of \(A B C D\).
