For positive real numbers $x$ and $y,$ the equation $\arctan x + \arccos \frac{y}{\sqrt{1 + y^2}} = \arcsin \frac{3}{\sqrt{10}}$reduces to an equation of the form $xy + ax + by + c = 0.$Enter the ordered triple $(a,b,c).$

For positive real numbers and the equation
$$\arctan x + \arccos \frac{y}{\sqrt{1 + y^2}} = \arcsin \frac{3}{\sqrt{10}}$$
reduces to an equation of the form $$xy + ax + by + c = 0$$.
