Given 2 lines expressed as parametric equations, how do you find their intersection point?
Post Body

Say, the lines are expressed as a pair of points for each line. So we have:

P = P0   t0(P1 - P0)
P = P2   t1(P3 - P2)

If we make these 2 equations equal, we're still left with t0 and t1 as unknowns and only 1 equation.

P0   t0(P1 - P0) = P2   t1(P3 - P2)

How do I get the intersection point?

edit: Solved it in the end! Stumbled on this video, he gets to the derivation at around the 16 minute mark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHOLQJo0FjQ
