Two Airplanes, Flying at the Same Altitude, Are Tracked Using $y = \frac { 2 } { 5 } x - 2$

question 58

Short Answer

Two airplanes, flying at the same altitude, are tracked using the same coordinate system on a radar screen. One plane is following a path described by the equation $y = \frac { 2 } { 5 } x - 2$ , and the other is following a path described by the equation $5 x = 2 y + 7$ . Is there a possibility of a collision?
