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 the tangent at  P(x1,y1)  is
(dydx)(x1,y1)=18y124x1=34y1x1  which must be equal to  32 
 Question Image
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
