There was a common notational error between the unit vector coefficients and unit vector coordinates. The unit vectors, i,j and k are actually vectors (1,0,0), (0,1,0) and (0,0,1) respectively. 3i, for example, means 3*(1,0,0). The "x-coordinate" is x=3.

The final problem asks for points of intersection. Most of you solved for the scalor multiple, t, at which the point of intersection occurs but failed to plug that value back into the equation of the line to find the actually point of intersection.
