Let the fixedcirclebe x^2 + y^2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 such that line lx + my + 1 = 0 touches it under the condition 4l^2-5m^2+6l+1.

Length of perpendiculat from the centre (-g, -f) of the circle to the tangent line = radius, v(g^2 + f^2 - c)
=> (-lg - mf + 1)^2 = (l^2 + m^2)(g^2 + f^2 - c)
=> (f^2 - c)l^2 + (g^2 - c)m^2 - 2fglm + 2gl + 2fm - 1 = 0
Comparing with 4l^2-5m^2+6l+1,
(f^2 - c)/4 = (g^2 - c) / (-5) = g/3 = - 1 and f = 0
=> g = -3 and c = 4

=> the equation of the circle is
x^2 + y^2 - 6x + 4 = 0.
