Step 1: We used the calculator to find the line of best fit for both the North Korean and American missiles. Points used NK US Day 1: 10,311 0 Day 2: 24,493 3,128 Day 3: 48,238 33,203 Day 4: 72,804 61,185 Day 5: 99,647 90,233 Day 6: 122,801 115,350 Day 7: 151,224 145,514 Day 8: 176,655 173,057 Equation of the US line: y=23,504.1x-24,941.8 Equation of the NK line: y=22,956.4x-13,361.93
Step 2: Graph both lines and find where they intersect.
Step 3: Find where the lines intersect algebraically. y=23,504.1x-24,941.8 x=21 y=22,956.4x-13,361.93 y=468,722.47 y=23,504.1x-24,941.8 -y=-22,956.4x+13,361.93 +______________________ 0=547.7x-11,579.87 547.7x=11,579.87 x=21 y=22,956.4(21)-13,361.93 y=482,084.4-13,361.93 y=468,722.47
