Find the intersection of two lines

# TESTING
say 'Intersection point: ', intersection( 4,0, 6,10, 0,3, 10,7 );
say 'Intersection point: ', intersection( 4,0, 6,10, 0,3, 10,7.1 );
say 'Intersection point: ', intersection( 0,0, 1,1, 1,2, 4,5 );

Output:

Intersection point: (5 5)
Intersection point: (5.010893 5.054466)
Intersection point: Lines are parallel
