In the above diagram, the equation of the curve is $y=\sqrt{ax}=\sqrt{2x}$ and the equation of the line is $y=mx.$ Let $V_x$ and $V_y$ be the volumes of the solids obtained by revolving the shaded region bounded by the curve and line about the $x$ -axis and $y$ -axis, respectively. If $V_x=V_y,$ what is the value of $m?$

\displaystyle{ \frac{4}{5}}

\displaystyle{ \frac{6}{5}}

\displaystyle{ \frac{3}{5}}
