As we learnt in 

Condition of tangency -

c^{2}=a^{2}\; (1+m^{2})

 

- wherein

If  y=mx+c  is a tangent to the circle x^{2}+y^{2}=a^{2}

 

 \\ x^{2}+y^{2}-4x-8y-5=0 \: \\ \\ and \: 3x-4y=m \\ \\ x=\frac{m+4y}{3}

\frac{\left ( m+4y \right )^{2}}{9}+y^{2}-\frac{(4m+16y)}{3}-8y-5\Rightarrow 0

\frac{25}{9}y^{2}+y\left ( \frac{8m}{9}-\frac{40}{3} \right )+\left ( \frac{m^{2}}{9}-5 \right )\Rightarrow 0

{25}y^{2}+8y\left ( m-120 \right )+\left ( m^{2}-45 \right )\Rightarrow 0

\\ D> 0 \\ \\ 8^{2}\left ( m-120 \right )^{2}-4\times 25\left ( m^{2}-45 \right )\Rightarrow 0

16m^{2}-32\times 120m+16\times 120^{2}-25m^{2}+25\times 45> 0

-9m^{2}-32\times 120m+16\times 120^{2}+25 \times45> 0

On solving, we get

\\ \left ( m+35 \right ) (m-15)< 0 \\ \\ m\epsilon \: (-35, 15)
