Detailed Solution

 Slope of the normal is 2 , so slope of the tangent is -12 . 

 Equation of the tangent is y-y1=mx-x1

y=12x±9×14+4

x+2y=±5......(1)

 If it touches at x1,y1, then equation of the tangent at x1,y1 to the ellipse is S1=0

xx19+yy14=1.......(2)

Comparing (1) and (2) we get

x19=y18=±15

(x1,y1)=95,85
