The ratio of one triangle to the other (because they are similar, since the top angles are both 44 degrees and the two sides on the other sides of them are the same) is 12:8, or 3:2.
So therefore, we can say it's 9:6, so DE is 6.
3/14

Paralell to x=c1 is x=c2 where c1 and c2 are constants
for x=2, passing through (-1,-5), that is (x,y)
x=-1 is the line
The Pythagorean theorem tells you that distance is
.. √((-24)^2 +32^2)) = √(576 +1024) = √1600 = 40
