Is emptiness of the intersection of the languages of two TMs decidable?
Assuming you have a decider $R$ for DISJOINT, you could use this to make a decider D for $E_\text{TM} = \{\langle M\rangle\mid L(M)=\emptyset\}$ as follows:

D(&lt;M&gt;) =
   return R(&lt;M&gt;, &lt;A&gt;)


where $A$ was a TM, selected in such a way that $\langle M\rangle\in E_\text{TM}$ if and only if $(\langle M\rangle, \langle A\rangle)\in\text{ DISJOINT}$. All that's left for you is to find the $A$ and show that it satisfies the needed conditions. (There are a couple of ways to make this choice.)
