Location Transport

Is there a better way to find the location where 2 ships intersect ?

Is there a better way to find the location where 2 ships intersect (instead of using the slope intercpt method)? Is graphing the ship's paths the most accurate method? Why or why not?

1. Graphing is not the most accurate method because you would still have to estimate decimal places. Estimate those wrong and your ships will crash and sink to the bottom of the brine. set the two equations equal to each other and solve. the only place that two different functions can be equal is where they intersect.
