Before blast-off, the Mathonauts must set the trajectory of their ship. Create a linear equation with a positive slope to be your original trajectory.
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.
