Emek and Tara prepared a cargo mission between two space stations by modeling possible flight paths on a coordinate grid. Each proposed route was represented by a linear equation. They determined the slope of each line to compare the direction of travel and identified the y-intercept to see where the route entered the monitored orbital region. After checking which equation matched the required launch point and destination, they selected the correct trajectory. Their accurate analysis guided the cargo ship safely through orbit, and the supplies arrived at the station without delay.
