You arrive at a National Park and are given a contour map. You’re told that if you hike in a straight line on this map from your current location of \((-2, -1)\) to the point \((4,2)\), you will encounter some beautiful views. Before you set out, you learn that the function \(f(x,y) = xy + y^2\) describes the elevation (in hundreds of feet) in your area. Calculate the absolute maximum and minimum elevations along your hiking trail.
