Yes, if they are outside this range the lines intersect but not in the segments

Can these 3 component equations be used in a gaussian matrix to work it out programatically? Thankyou again, this is great.
Yes, but some work may be needed as there are three equations and two
unknowns. Any two of them should give a solution, and this shoud be
consistent with the solution when the left out equation is substituted for
one of the equations used.
