The correct answer is: -9

Given,

Equation of hyperbola, 3x2-4y2=36

And nearest line 3x+2y=1

Now slope of the given line will be, m=-32

Now slope of tangent which will be parallel to given line of hyperbola 3x2-4y2=36 is given by,

m=3secθ12·tanθ

Now putting the value of m=-32 we get,

312×1sinθ=-32

sinθ=-13

So, point will be 12secθ,3tanθ

=12·32,-3×12

=62,-32,

Hence, 2y0-x0=2-32-62=-9
