Answer

$$ (-3,2,3)$$

Work Step by Step

The parametric equations of the line are given by $$ x=1-2t, \quad y=t, \quad z=1+t.$$ Now, substituting in the equation of the plane $$ x-y+5z=10\Longrightarrow 1-2t-t+5+5t=10\\ \Longrightarrow 2t=4\Longrightarrow t=2. $$ So the point of intersection is given by $$(1-2(2),2,1+2)=(-3,2,3).$$
