After blast-off, the sensors have picked up an incoming meteor. The Mathonauts frantically start preparing for impact. If the linear equation of the meteor’s path is known, describe to the captain how to solve where your equation from question 1 and the meteor’s path will cross. Explain any possible methods used in discovering a solution.

there r 2  basic ways to do this.... 
    first one
           u plot the 2 equations on the same graph and the y value of the intersection point of the 2 lines is the answer

 second one
          u take the 2 different equations and taking them as simultaneous equations u solve them for x and y.. and the y value is the answer

hope this will help ya!! ;)
