AIME 2011a Problem 3

  • Paper
  • Answer

Let LL be the line with slope 512\frac{5}{12} that contains the point A=(24,−1)A=(24,-1), and let MM be the line perpendicular to line LL that contains the point B=(5,6)B=(5,6). The original coordinate axes are erased, and line LL is made the xx-axis and line MM the yy-axis. In the new coordinate system, point AA is on the positive xx-axis, and point BB is on the positive yy-axis. The point PP with coordinates (−14,27)(-14,27) in the original system has coordinates (α,β)(\alpha,\beta) in the new coordinate system. Find α+β\alpha+\beta.
