Detailed Solution

Circle x2 + y -6x +4y+12 = 0
Its center = (3.-2) , radius = 9+4-12   = 1
the line  5x +12y -4 = 0 touches the circle if r = d
d=perpendicular distance from centre (3,-2) to the line 5x + 12 y -4 =0
   = 15(3)+ 12 (-2) -41 52 +122  = 1313 = 1 = r
Hence given line touches the circle.
