Geometry Level 5

Let w 1 w_1 and w 2 w_2 denote the circles x 2 + y 2 + 10 x 24 y 87 = 0 x^2+y^2+10x-24y-87=0 and x 2 + y 2 10 x 24 y + 153 = 0 , x^2 +y^2-10x-24y+153=0, respectively. Let m m be the smallest positive value of a a for which the line y = a x y=ax contains the center of a circle that is externally tangent to w 2 w_2 and internally tangent to w 1 . w_1. Given that m 2 = p q , m^2=\frac pq, where p p and q q are relatively prime integers, find p + q . p+q.
