In Flight Control Math 5 (Finding the Equation of a Line and the Point of Intersection for Two Lines), students learn about Detect and Avoid (DAA), a collision avoidance technology, through this real-world math exercise. Given two points, students determine the equation of the line, in slope-intercept format, to describe the movement. They then solve systems of two equations to determine the point of intersection for the lines.
