isn't the intersection of a 3D straight line with a centered sphere?

$${z}=\mathrm{6}−{x}−{y} \\ $$$${x}^{\mathrm{2}} +{y}^{\mathrm{2}} +\left(\mathrm{6}−{x}−{y}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{18} \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}{y}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{12}{x}−\mathrm{12}{y}+\mathrm{2}{xy}+\mathrm{18}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${y}^{\mathrm{2}} −\left(\mathrm{6}−{x}\right){y}+\left(\mathrm{3}−{x}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Delta=\left(\mathrm{6}−{x}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4}\left(\mathrm{3}−{x}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \geqslant\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${x}\left(\mathrm{4}−{x}\right)\geqslant\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{0}\leqslant{x}\leqslant\mathrm{4} \\ $$$${similarly} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{0}\leqslant{y}\leqslant\mathrm{4} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{0}\leqslant{z}\leqslant\mathrm{4} \\ $$
