From the moment the friend passes the bicyclist, his friend covers a distance over time t of (3.63 m/s)*t.
The bicyclist covers a distance of 1/2*(2.11 m/s^2)*t^2. They meet when these distances are equal:
3.63 t = 1.055 t^2 ==> 1.055 t^2 - 3.63 t = 0
==> t = 0 s or t = 3.44 s
I believe the answer is:
y+18 = (-52/3)(x-3) in point slope form
Let me know if you need an explanation. Hope this helps.
