Detailed Solution

The midpoint of the chord PQ is R -35,-3m+55

The centre of the circle is C3,-2 CRis perpendicular to PQ

The product of the slopes of perpendicular lines is -1

m×3m+55+2353=1m×3m+1518=13m215m+18=0

Solving the equation

m25m+6=0m2-3m-2m+6=0m2m3=0m=2,3

Threfore, from the options 2≤m≤4
