The triangle with vertices (1,3)(1,3), (3,1)(3,1) and (2,4)(2,4) is reflected in the line x+2y=2x+2y=2.

Recall that the centroid of a triangle with vertices (x1,y1)(x_1,y_1), (x2,y2)(x_2,y_2) and (x3,y3)(x_3,y_3) is

(x1+x2+x33,y1+y2+y33).\left(\frac{x_1+x_2+x_3}{3},\frac{y_1+y_2+y_3}{3}\right).

If the centroid of the reflected triangle is (α,β)(\alpha,\beta), what is the value of

15(α−β)?15(\alpha-\beta)?
