\[\begin{aligned}
&\text { Let } \phi=\theta+\frac{\pi}{3} \Rightarrow \theta=\phi-\frac{\pi}{6}\\
&\begin{aligned}
& x=3 \tan \left(\theta+\frac{\pi}{3}\right)=3 \tan \left(\theta+\frac{\pi}{6}\right) \\
& y=2 \tan \phi \\
& \tan \left(\phi+\frac{\pi}{6}\right)=\frac{\tan \phi+\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}}{1-\tan \phi \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}} \\
& \frac{x}{3}=\frac{\frac{y}{2}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}}{1-\frac{y}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}}
\end{aligned}
\end{aligned}\]
\[⇒x=23−y3(y3+2)xy+αx+βy+r=03(23−yy3+2)+α(3(23−y)(y3+2))+βy+r=0=(33−β)y2+(6+33α+23β−y)y+(6α+23y)=0\]
For this identity to hold for all θ, coefficients must be 0
\[∴β=33γ=−α36+33α+(23)(33)+α3=0⇒α=−23⇒β=6α2+β2+γ2=75\] Answer the question to unlock
