Detailed Solution

 Slope of the give line =32

 The points on the curve at which the tangent is parallel to the given line. So, 

 differentiating both sides with respect to x of 3x24y2=72 we get 

dydx=3x4y=32( given )xy=2 Now 3xy24=72y2y2=9y=3,3 So, points are (6,3) and (6,3)

 Now, distance of (6,3) from the given line =18+6+113=1113

 And distance of (6,3) from the given line =186+113=1313

 Clearly, the required point is on (6,3)=x0,yo (given) 

 So, xo=6,yo=3 Hence x0+y0=6+3=3
