$\"9y+=+x%5E2\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+=+%281%2F9%29x%5E2\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the point of the parabola closest to the point ( $\"5\"$ , $\"-2\"$ )\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "simply, that will be intersection point of the parabola $\"y+=+%281%2F9%29x%5E2\"$ and vertical line $\"x=5\"$ that passes through the point ( $\"5\"$ , $\"-2\"$ )\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+=+%281%2F9%295%5E2\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+=+25%2F9\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "=> ( $\"5\"$ , $\"25%2F9\"$ ) is the closest to the point ( $\"5\"$ , $\"-2\"$ )\r
