Detailed Solution

Slope of line 3x+2y+1=0    is 32

Diff  the curve  3x24y2=72 we get 

dydx=3x4y

m=dydxp(x1,y1)=34x1y1               32=34x1y1        x1y1=2

p(x1,y1)  liesan  3x24y272                          3x124y1272

  3x12y124=72y12        344=72y12              y1=±3

Rev . points are (-6,3) to (6,-3)

    Distance of (-6,3) to  3x+2y+1=0 is 18+6+19+4=1113

                     Distance of (6,-3) to 3x+2y+1=0 is           13      (-6,3)
