Circles....help plzz

Hint:

find the tangents of the same slope (2)

Or

the distance from the centers should be such that it is greater than the radius of each circle. (in one case -ve and in the other +ve)

first thing : the line will have to cut the -ve Y-axis to lie in between the 2 circles.

hey can we do like this :::

y=2x+k
m=2
c=k

now the given lies in b/w the two circles so we can apply r>\left|\frac{c}{\sqrt{(1+m^2)}} \right|

now from the eq.n of circles r1=2 nd 22=1..

so by putting c,m nd r u ll get two inequalities.....

from i got k^2<20 nd k^2<5

soo i hope my logic is right nd from here u can get the range of k[1][1][1][1]
