The coordinates (0,0) mark the take-off point for a rocket made in a science project.
The positive x direction from (0,0) is East.
1. Find the equation of the rocket’s path if it rises at a rate of 5m for every 1m East
2. A second rocket is fired 2m above where the first was and rises 2m for every 1m East, find
its equation
Bonus marks: If the rockets’ paths cross, find the point it occurs.
