A sailboat with a sick passenger abroad is following a parabolic path given by the equation = − 2 +2 + 8.
The boat’s captain sent out a distress signal. A speedboat is trying to catch the sailboat to provide medical aid and is on a path given by the linear equation y=- x+8. Besides the y-intercept (starting location) where do the paths of the two boats cross (for each graph you must plot at least 3 points each and give answer in coordinate pair notation)?
