5. 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 travelling at the speed of 0.33 km/s. If the signal from N was received by the ship four seconds before the signal it receive from M, find the equation of the curve con- taining the possible location of the ship.
