The closest point on a line, to another point, will be a point that's on a normal of that line, or a line that is perpendicular to it, notice picture below
so, y = 2x, has a slope of 2, a perpendicular line to it, will have a slope of negative reciprocal that, or
so, we know that line passes through the point 20,0, and has a slope of -1/2
if we plug that in the point-slope form, we get
now, the point that's on 2x and is also on that perpendicular line, is the closest to 20,0 from 2x, thus, is where both graphs intersect, as you can see in the graph
thus
solve for "x'

not sure on the 2nd part, but sounds like, what's the distance from that point to 20,0, well, if that's the case, just use the distance equation

Answer:
The 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportion of women who drink alcohol and the proportion of men who drink alcohol is (-0.102, -0.014) or (-10.2%, -1.4%).
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to calculate the bounds of a 95% confidence interval of the difference between proportions.
For a 95% CI, the critical value for z is z=1.96.
The sample 1 (women), of size n1=1000 has a proportion of p1=0.494.
The sample 2 (men), of size n2=1000 has a proportion of p2=0.552.
The difference between proportions is (p1-p2)=-0.058.
The pooled proportion, needed to calculate the standard error, is:
The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:
Then, the margin of error is:
Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:
The 95% confidence interval for the difference between proportions is (-0.102, -0.014).
