When waiting to land, an airplane is traveling above the airport in a holding pattern that can be modeled by the equation 49x2 +
64y2 = 3136, with the air traffic control tower at the origin. Suppose that another plane approaches the airport at the same altitude as the first plane on a path that can be modeled by the equation y - 6 = (1/4)x2. what are the possible points of collision?
You can find slope by using the 'rise over run' method. Find 2 clear points and count the number of units between those points, across the x axis and up the y axis. You should have 3/1 (y/x) as your slope.
