You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I'm glad you recognize that dividing by zero is impossible/undefined. (It is not 0!)

\n" ); document.write( "You'll have to post the rest of the problem so we can see how you ended up with $\"-4%2F0\"$ . If $\"-4%2F0\"$ is correct it may mean something in the context of the overall problem. For example, if you are calculating the slope of a line, an answer of $\"-4%2F0\"$ means the slope is undefined. And lines with undefined slopes are vertical lines. (Vertical lines have equations of the form x = a where \"a\" is the x coordinate of any point on the line. (All the x coordinates on a vertical line are the same!))

\n" ); document.write( "Or perhaps an error was made and you should not end up with $\"-4%2F0\"$ . \n" ); document.write( "
