Find the intersection of two lines
(Redirected from Line–line intersection)
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Finding the intersection of two lines that are in the same plane is an important topic in collision detection.[1]
- Task
Find the point of intersection of two lines in 2D.
The 1st line passes though (4,0) and (6,10) .
The 2nd line passes though (0,3) and (10,7) .

APL
⍝ APL has a powerful operator the « dyadic domino » to solve a system of N linear equations with N unknowns
⍝ We use it first to solve the a and b, defining the 2 lines as y = ax + b, with the x and y of the given points
⍝ The system of equations for first line will be:
⍝ 0 = 4a + b
⍝ 10 = 6a + b
⍝ The two arguments to be passed to the dyadic domino are:
⍝ The (0, 10) vector as the left argument
⍝ The ( 4 1 ) matrix as the right argument.
⍝ ( 6 1 )
⍝ We will define a solver that will take the matrix of coordinates, one point per row, then massage the argument to extract x,y
⍝ and inject 1, where needed, and return a pair (a, b) of resolved unknowns.
⍝ Applied twice, we will have a, b and a', b' defining the two lines, we need to resolve it in x and y, in order to determine
⍝ their intersection
⍝ y = ax + b
⍝ y = a'x + b'
⍝ In order to reuse the same solver, we need to format a little bit the arguments, and change the sign of a and a', therefore
⍝ multiply (a,b) and (a', b') by (-1, 1):
⍝ b = -ax + y
⍝ b' = -a'x + y
