The line through (6,2) is

y-2=m(x-6) \Rightarrow y=m x+2-6 m

Now from condition of tangency, (2-6 m)^2=25 m^2-16

\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow 36 m^2+4-24 m-25 m^2+16=0 \\ & \Rightarrow 11 m^2-24 m+20=0 \end{aligned}

Obviously its roots are m_1 and m_2, therefore

m_1+m_2=\frac{24}{11} \text { and } m_1 m_2=\frac{20}{11} \text {. }
