Have you tried drawing the lines?

 

[Loppyfoot]

No I have not. Is there a way to solve these computationally?

 

[Mark44]

Sure, but it's always good to have a visual idea of what they represent. Too often students try to do things on strictly a computational level and completely skip using the visual side of their brains. Using both is good.

Both lines (they shouldn't both be called L(t)) have y values that don't change.
