Let circle C be the image of x2+y2−2x+4y−4=0 in the line 2x−3y+5=0 and A be the point on C such that OA is parallel to x-axis and A lies on the right hand side of the centre O of C. If B(α,β), with β<4, lies on C such that the length of the are AB is (1/6)th of the perimeter of C, then β−3α is equal to
