Answer:

  85 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the speed of the slower car. Then the travel time is ...

  time = distance/speed

  2 = 360/(s +(s+10))

  4s +20 = 360 . . . . . multiply by 2s+10

  4s = 340 . . . . . . . . . subtract 20

  s = 85 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

__

The rate of the slower car is 85 km/h.
