Answer

$(7,-4,3)$

Work Step by Step

Vector equation of a line joining the points with position vectors $r_0$ and $r_1$ is: $r=r_0+tv$ Put $r_0=\lt 1,0,1\gt$ and $r_1= \lt 3,-2,1\gt $ $r=\lt 1+3t,-2t,1+t\gt$ Parametric equations of the line are: $x= 1+3t,y=-2t,z=1+t$ As we are given the equation of the plane is: $x+y+z=6$ Plug in $x= 1+3t,y=-2t,z=1+t$, we get $t=2$ Thus, $x= 1+3(2),y=-2(2),z=1+(2)$ Point of intersection: $(7,-4,3)$
