Find equation of line joining $(3,1)$ and $(9,3)$ using determinants

Consider the system of linear equations

$-x+y+2 z=0$

$3 x-a y+5 z=1$

$2 x-2 y-a z=7$

Let $S_{1}$ be the set of all $\mathrm{a} \in {R}$ for which the system is inconsistent and $S_{2}$ be the set of all $a \in {R}$ for which the system has infinitely many solutions. If $n\left(S_{1}\right)$ and $n\left(S_{2}\right)$ denote the number of elements in $S_{1}$ and $\mathrm{S}_{2}$ respectively, then

If $C = 2\cos \theta $, then the value of the determinant $\Delta = \left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}C&1&0\\1&C&1\\6&1&C\end{array}\,} \right|$ is

$\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}x&4&{y + z}\\y&4&{z + x}\\z&4&{x + y}\end{array}\,} \right| = $

If $A\, = \,\left[ \begin{gathered}

\end{gathered}  \right]$ and $A^3 = (aA-I) (bA-I)$,where $a, b$ are integers and $I$ is a $3 × 3$ unit matrix then value of $(a + b)$ is equal to
