Detailed Solution

 Point P is nearest to the given line if the tangent at P is parallel to the given line.
Now, the slope of tangent at P(x1, y1) is 

dydxx1,y1=18y124x1=34y1x1 which must be equal to 3/2

Therefore,

 34y1x1=32 or  y1=2x1----1

Also, (x1, y1) lies on the curve. Hence, 

x224y1218=1---2

Solving (1) and (2), we get two points (6, -3) and (-6, 3) of which (6, -3) is the nearest.
