Consider the conic section

$\displaystyle \sqrt{3} x^2 -3xy -2 = 0 \ .$

Transform the equation by using a rotation about an angle $\alpha$ so that there are no mixed terms in the equation with respect to the new coordinates.

Give the describing matrix of the transformation as well as the normal form and the type of the conic section explicitly.
