How to find the intersection point between two lines?

line 1: r = (3,1,-1) + s(1,2,3)
line 2: r = (2,5,0) + s(1,-1,1)

line 1: r = (3,1,-1) + s(1,2,3)
line 2: r = (2,5,0) + s(1,-1,1)

Hey Raerin! ;)

Let's use a different parameter in both of those line equations.

line 1: r = (3,1,-1) + s(1,2,3)
line 2: r = (2,5,0) + t(1,-1,1)

We're looking for an $s$ and a $t$, such that the resulting r is the same...Btw, perhaps you could also put your question inside your post instead of only as the title of the thread.

Haha! It Was a typo I see! I Was trying and trying, i Was like how can $$3+s= 2+s$$

So it's not possible for both parameters to be s? Then there's a mistake in the question. I guess I don't need help anymore. Thanks!

It's not really a mistake in the question.
The general form of a line equation is $\vec r = \vec a + s \vec d$.
However, when you intersect 2 different lines with such an equation, you have to realize that the parameters $s$ in those 2 line equations are distinct.
