Let a conic CCC pass through the point (4,−2)(4,-2)(4,−2) and P(x,y),x≥3P(x, y), x \geq 3P(x,y),x≥3, be any point on CCC. Let the slope of the line touching the conic CCC only at a single point PPP be half the slope of the line joining the points PPP and (3,−5)(3,-5)(3,−5). If the focal distance of the point (7,1)(7,1)(7,1) on CCC is ddd, then 12d12 d12d equals ______
