The correct answer is: -2

Let x1,y2 lie on the line
 3x1-4y2-aa-2=04y2=3x1-aa-2
Now, y2<y13x1-aa-24<y1
Putting x1=2b+3, y1=b2, we get, 

32b+3-aa-2<4b2.
a2-2a+4b2-6b-9>0

Now aRD<0

4-44b2-6b-9<0
1-4b2+6b+9<04b2-6b+10>0
2b2-3b-5>02b-5b+1>0
b-,-152,

Hence, the maximum negative integer value of b is -2
