The second is correct. Geometrically, lines "intersect one another". It is incorrect to include "with", which would render the verb "intersect" intransitive. The geometrical meaning is OED - sense 1b in the OED:
1b. Geometry. Of a line or surface: To pass through or across (a line
or surface), so as to lie on both sides of it with one point (or line)
in common: = cut v. 15b. 1646 Sir T. Browne Pseudodoxia Epidemica
vi. v. 292 Being in the Æquator it would intersect their Horizon,
and be halfe above and halfe beneath it. 1700 Moxon's Mech.
Exercises: Bricklayers-wks. 30 Where these two Arches Intersect, or
cut each other, there is the Center. 1840 D. Lardner Treat. Geom. x.
125 If two chords intersect each other in a circle, the rectangle
under the segments of the one will be equal to the rectangle under the
segments of the other. 1858 O. W. Holmes Autocrat of Breakfast-table
xii. 330 Keep any line of knowledge ten years and some other line
will intersect it. 1873 B. Williamson Elem. Treat. Differential
Calculus (ed. 2) xiii. §190 Every [straight] line must intersect a
curve of an odd degree in at least one real point.
There is an intransitive form of "intersect", but it does not involve the use of "with". It is used where the intersecting parties are collectively the subject of the verb. It is sense 2a.
2a. intransitive (for reflexive). To cross or cut each another:
chiefly Geometry of lines or surfaces. 1755 in Johnson: quoting
Wiseman in error: see quot. 1676 at interject v. 2a. 1849 G. Grote
Hist. Greece VI. ii. xlvii. 27 Straight streets intersecting at
right angles. 1869 J. Tyndall Notes 9 Lect. on Light 24 The rays
from a luminous point placed beyond the focus intersect at the
opposite side of the lens. 1873 B. Williamson Elem. Treat.
Differential Calculus (ed. 2) xiv. §204 The Lemniscate whose
equation is (x2 + y2)2 = a (x2 − y2)..[has] two branches intersecting
at the origin.
It would seem that the use of "intersect with" is an incorrect form.
