Explanation:
_________________________________
(20/100) x = 14; solve for "x".
(20/100) = 2/10 = 1/5 ;
(1/5) x = 14
x/5 = 14 ;
x = 14 * 5 ;
x = 70 . The answer is: 70 .

Answer: Choice D
(a-e)/f
=======================================
Explanation:
Points D and B are at locations (e,f) and (a,0) respectively.
Find the slope of line DB to get
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (0-f)/(a-e)
m = -f/(a-e)
This is the slope of line DB. We want the perpendicular slope to this line. So we'll flip the fraction to get -(a-e)/f and then flip the sign from negative to positive. That leads to the final answer (a-e)/f.
Another example would be an original slope of -2/5 has a perpendicular slope of 5/2. Notice how the two slopes -2/5 and 5/2 multiply to -1. This is true of any pair of perpendicular lines where neither line is vertical.
No solution for the quadratic equation because of the √-20
I believe it would be 2 units to the right
and 4 units down
