Math, microeconomics or criminal justice
just some rough rounded off calculations
but the planet and comet come together at about (-3.4, -3.7)
the planet and satelite come together at about (-2.8, -3.4)
those two points are less than 0.7 apart
maybe half way or (-3.1, -3.5) is where all 3 come closest together.
the comet's path is a slightly upward sloping straight line
the planet's path is a circle, center at the origin, radius =5
the satelite's path is an ellipse, with minor axis about 8 and major axis about 14
about (-3.1,-3.5) is within about 0.3 from where the planet, comet and satelite come closest to intersecting.
