sub solve{
my( $a, $b, $c, $d ) = @_;
my( $x, $y );
$x = ($b - $a) / ($d - $a - $c + $b);
$y = ($d - $a) * ($b - $a) / ($d - $a - $c + $b) + $a;

}
Ok, perhaps more efficiently...
sub solve{
my( $a, $b, $c, $d ) = @_;
my $x = ($b - $a) / ($d - $a - $c + $b);
my $y = ($d - $a) * $x + $a;
return( $x, $y );
}
formula for line 1: Y = (D - A) * X + A
formula for line 2: Y = (C - B) * X + B
intersection: X and Y coordinates of line1 and line2 are equal ...
(D - A) * X + A = (C - B) * X + B
reduces to => X = (B - A) / (D - A - C + B)
plug X into equation for line 1 gives ...
Y = (D - A) * (B - A) / (D - A - C + B) + A

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
