Problem

Let T be the line passing through the points P(−2, 7) and Q(2, −5). Let F₁ be the set of all pairs of circles (S₁, S₂) such that T is tangent to S₁ at P and tangent to S₂ at Q, and also such that S₁ and S₂ touch each other at a point, say, M. Let E₁ be the set representing the locus of M as the pair (S₁, S₂) varies in F₁. Let the set of all straight line segments joining a pair of distinct points of E₁ and passing through the point R(1, 1) be F₂. Let E₂ be the set of the mid-points of the line segments in the set F₂. Then, which of the following statement(s) is (are) TRUE?
