2. Two stations, located at M(-1.5, 0) and N(1.5, 0) (units are in km), simultaneously send sound signals to a ship, with the signal traveling at the speed of 0.33 km/s. If the signal from N was received by the ship four seconds before the signal it received from M, find the equation of the curve containing the possible location of the ship. Graph the equation in a clean sheet of paper.
