If you plot ownship and target position along with speed/heading vectors. MoBo can automatically give you that red dotted line with the "X" that marks the point of intercept. Takes me about 5 seconds.

You can do manual intercepts with MoBo, it just takes longer to draw. And if you're going to do that, you might just as well use the in-game drawing tools.

If you really want to know the pure math formula(s) behind an intercept, I have it in an Excel workbook here:
