6. The transformation \(T\) from the \(z\)-plane, where \(z = x + \mathrm{i}y\), to the \(w\)-plane, where \(w = u + \mathrm{i}v\), is given by \[w = \frac{4(1 - \mathrm{i})z - 8\mathrm{i}}{2(-1 + \mathrm{i})z - \mathrm{i}}, \quad z \neq \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{4}\mathrm{i}\]

The transformation \(T\) maps the points on the line \(l\) with equation \(y = x\) in the \(z\)-plane to a circle \(C\) in the \(w\)-plane.

(a) Show that \[w = \frac{ax^2 + bx\mathrm{i} + c}{16x^2 + 1}\] where \(a\), \(b\) and \(c\) are real constants to be found. (6)
(b) Hence show that the circle \(C\) has equation \[(u - 3)^2 + v^2 = k^2\] where \(k\) is a constant to be found. (4)
