Calculation

• First make a table showing how far each missile travels everyday

• Then enter the data on a stat plot making the x-axis=day and the y-axis=distance traveled

• Next, use the CALC option on the calculator to find the slope and y-intercept of the line of best fit

• Finally record slope and y-intercept into y=mx+b equation

Speed

Korean: 39248.77726 km/dayAmerican: 42126.83994 km/dayKorean: 1635.365719 km/hourAmerican: 1755.284998 km/hourKorean: 1016.169147 mphAmerican: 1090.683532 mph

Conclusion

The Korean missile will not blow up the moon. This is because the American missile will intercept the Korean missile about half way through the tenth day 232323.61 miles away from earth, or about 6573.39 miles away from the moon.
