Question 775258: An Airplane leaves Kennedy Airport in New York headed for Los Angeles at a speed of 550 miles per hour. Another airplane leaves Los Angeles an hour later headed for Kennedy airport, flying at a speed of 600 miles. If the two planes are 2375 miles apart, when will the two planes pass each other? I am looking to find a point slope equation.
