Detailed Solution

Given ellipses are 

x23+y21=1   -(1)

and x25+y21=1   -(2)

Given lines are y=-xm-3m   -(3) 

and x+y+n=0   -(4)

since (3) is tangent to (2) then 

 9m2=51m2+1  4m2=1  m2=4  m=-2  ( m<0)

since (4) is normal to (1) then 

  n=±1  n=1(n>0)(3)  x-2y+3=0(4)  x+y+1=0

By solving these two equations we get point of intersection=(-53,23)

By verification it satisfies  the line x-5y +5=0
