$m^2 x^2+100+20 m x=180 x^2+m^2 x^2+20 m x+20 x+20=0 x^2\left(1+m^2\right)+20 x(m+1)+20=0 \text { Since } y=m x \text { does } $
$\text { not intersect so } b^2-4 a c<0\left[20(m+1)^2\right]-4\left(1+m^2\right)(20)<0400(m+1)^2-80\left(1+m^2\right)<05 m^2+5+10 m-1-m^2< $
$04 m^2+10 m+4<04 m^2+8 m+2 m+4<04 m(m+2)+2(m+2)<0(m+2)(4 m+2)<0$
$\Rightarrow m+2<0 \text { and } 4 m $
$+2>0$
$\Rightarrow m<-2 \text { and } m>-2 \text { Its not possible }$
$\Rightarrow m+2>0 \text { and } 4 m+2<0$
$\Rightarrow m>-2 \text { and } m<-\frac{1}{2} $
$\Rightarrow-2<m<-\frac{1}{2}$
$\Rightarrow m \in\left(-2, \frac{1}{2}\right)$
$m^2 x^2+100+20 m x=180 x^2+m^2 x^2+20 m x+20 x+20=0 x^2\left(1+m^2\right)+20 x(m+1)+20=0 \text { Since } y=m x \text { does } $

$04 m^2+10 m+4<04 m^2+8 m+2 m+4<04 m(m+2)+2(m+2)<0(m+2)(4 m+2)<0$
$\Rightarrow m+2<0 \text { and } 4 m $
