 Normal form of 2x3y+1=0 is 
2x3y=12x+3y=1
 Divide by 4+9=13  Given radius 13
 Point of contact x1,y1=(1,1)
213x+313y=113xcosα+ysinα=P
cosα=213,sinα=313,P=113
 Center of the circles =x1±rcosα,y1±rsinα
=1±16213,1+13313=(12,1+3)&(1+2,13)=(1,4)&(3,2)
 Required circles C1h,4k r=13
(xh)2+(yk)2=r2(x1)2+(y4)2=(13)2x2+y2+2x8y+4=0C(3,2),r=13(x3)2+(y+2)2=(13)2x2+y26x+4y=0
