The Challenge

In the video you just watched, you learned about a game Julia designed in which an asteroid is moving on a collision course with a spaceship. The challenge now is to plot a linear path for the spaceship so it doesn’t crash into the asteroid. You need to plot the next two moves for the spaceship to avoid hitting the asteroid.

You will soon have an opportunity to solve the problem but before you do, think about the questions below and record your answers.

Describe a situation in your daily life where you may need to apply the concept of finding a linear path or two linear paths that intersect.

Why would you need more than one variable to identify location?
