Playing with co-ordinate geometry

Geometry Level 5

We have a plane in x y z xyz -Cartesian Space whose equation is given by x + y + z = 1 x+y+z=1 .

I now take this plane as x y {x}^{'}{y}^{'} -Cartesian Plane where x {x}^{'} and y {y}^{'} -axes are given by x + y = 1 = z + 1 x+y=1=z+1 and 2 x = 2 y = 1 z 2x=2y=1-z respectively.

The Direction cosines of + x \Large +{x}^{'} and + y +{y}^{'} axes are ( 1 2 , 1 2 , 0 ) (\frac{-1}{\sqrt{2}},\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}},0) and ( 1 6 , 1 6 , 2 6 ) (\frac{-1}{\sqrt{6}},\frac{-1}{\sqrt{6}},\frac{2}{\sqrt{6}}) respectively.

A line is chosen in our given plane whose equation in x y z xyz -Cartesian Space is given by :

3 x 1 = 3 y 1 2 = 3 z 1 3 3x-1=\frac{3y-1}{2}=\frac{3z-1}{-3}

If the equation of the above mentioned line in x y {x}^{'}{y}^{'} -Cartesian Plane is given by :

a x + b y = 1 a{x}^{'}+b{y}^{'}=1

Find 2 a + 6 b \sqrt{2}a+\sqrt{6}b
