6. A curve has equation \(x ^ { 2 } + y ^ { 2 } + 12 x = 64\)
A line has equation \(y = m x + 10\)
    1. In the case that the line intersects the curve at two distinct points, show that $$( 20 m + 12 ) ^ { 2 } - 144 \left( m ^ { 2 } + 1 \right) > 0$$
  1. (ii) Hence find the possible values of \(m\).
    1. On the same diagram, sketch the curve and the line in the case when \(m = 0\)
  2. (ii) State the relationship between the curve and the line.
