Thus the two circles touches each other internally.
Since the circle touches each other internally. The point of contact P divides C

, i.e.,

=1:2
Therefore, coordinates of P are-

(5x+y−6(

−6x−9y−13
+x+8y+13=0
4x−7y−13=0
Hence the point of contact is (5,1) and the equation of common tangent is 4x−7y−13=0.
