Let P be the intersection point of the line through points D = (1, 1, 2) and E = (2, 3, 4) with the plane through A = (0,1,1), B = (1,1,0) and C = (1,0,3). What is P?

Let P be the intersection point of the line through points D = (1, 1, 2) and E = (2, 3, 4) 

with the plane through A = (0,1,1), B = (1,1,0) and C = (1,0,3).

What is P?
