Answer:

Suppose the closest point is at p=(x0,y0), and set q=(−2,−3). Then the tangent to the parabola at p is perpendicular to ℓ, the line through p,q. and we end up numerically computing the roots from here.

Fourteen less than three fourths of a number is negative eight. Find the number
Lapatulllka [165]
The word "is" in this kind of problem typically means "=", so we know that something =-8. Since we're finding the number, we should start with the closest thing in the phrase given to that number. In this case, it's 3/4x. Finally, since we have the "14 less than", we need to add that in. Your answer is:

3/4x-14=-8. Now we can just solve!
       +14   +14

3/4x=6.
*4/3   *4/3

x=8.
