The diagram shows the plans for a proposed new racing circuit. The designer wishes to introduce a slip road at B for cars wishing to exit from the circuit to go into the pits. The designer needs to ensure that the two sections of road touch at B in order that drivers may drive straight on when they leave the circuit.
Relative to appropriate axes, the part of the circuit circled above is shown below. This part of the circuit is represented by a curve with equation
withequationy=-4x-3.
