A high school geometry problem.
How do I show that if the line $lx+my+1=0$ touches a fixed circle, provided $4l^2-5m^2+6l+1=0$?

Hint:
You have to find such point $S(a,b)$ and $r>0$ that $${|la+mb+1|\over \sqrt{m^2+l^2}} =r$$
To do that think of three diffrent pair of $l,m$ in orther to get 3 lines and calculate their intesection points. Then calculate the radius of it incircle and coordinates of incenter.
