Main Idea:
-> Subsitutes line equation into plane to find intersection
-> Tests if intersection is within segment endpoints
Let:
-> Line Segment S:
-> S(t) = A + t * (B-A)
-> for 0 <= t <= 1
-> Plane P:
-> dot(n, X) = d
Solve for "t" of intersection:
-> t = ( d - dot(n, A) / dot(n, B-A) )
-> Return intersection only if:
-> 0 <= t <= 1
