  2. Line (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_(geometry)

    In an axiomatic formulation of Euclidean geometry, such as that of Hilbert (modern mathematicians added to Euclid's original axioms to fill perceived logical gaps), [1]: 108 a line is stated to have certain properties that relate it to other lines and points. For example, for any two distinct points, there is a unique line containing them, and ...

  3. Duality (projective geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duality_(projective_geometry)

    The number of non-absolute points (lines) incident with a non-absolute line (point) is even. Furthermore, [18] The polarity π has at least n + 1 absolute points and if n is not a square, exactly n + 1 absolute points. If π has exactly n + 1 absolute points then; if n is odd, the absolute points form an oval whose tangents are the absolute ...

  4. Linear space (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_space_(geometry)

    Let L = (P, G, I) be an incidence structure, for which the elements of P are called points and the elements of G are called lines. L is a linear space if the following three axioms hold: (L1) two distinct points are incident with exactly one line. (L2) every line is incident to at least two distinct points. (L3) L contains at least two distinct ...

  5. Point (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_(geometry)

    In geometry, a point is an abstract idealization of an exact position, without size, in physical space, [1] or its generalization to other kinds of mathematical spaces.As zero-dimensional objects, points are usually taken to be the fundamental indivisible elements comprising the space, of which one-dimensional curves, two-dimensional surfaces, and higher-dimensional objects consist; conversely ...

  6. Projective plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projective_plane

    Graph of the projective plane of order 7, having 57 points, 57 lines, 8 points on each line and 8 lines passing through each point, where each point is denoted by a rounded rectangle and each line by a combination of letter and number. Only lines with letter A and H are drawn. In the Dobble or Spot It! game, two points are removed.

  7. Projective geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projective_geometry

    There are two types, points and lines, and one "incidence" relation between points and lines. The three axioms are: G1: Every line contains at least 3 points; G2: Every two distinct points, A and B, lie on a unique line, AB. G3: If lines AB and CD intersect, then so do lines AC and BD (where it is assumed that A and D are distinct from B and C).

  8. Arrangement of lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrangement_of_lines

    These are the connected components of the points that would remain after removing all points on lines. [1] The edges or panels of the arrangement are one-dimensional regions belonging to a single line. They are the open line segments and open infinite rays into which each line is partitioned by its crossing points with the other lines.

  9. Configuration (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Configuration_(geometry)

    Configurations (4 3 6 2) (a complete quadrangle, at left) and (6 2 4 3) (a complete quadrilateral, at right).. In mathematics, specifically projective geometry, a configuration in the plane consists of a finite set of points, and a finite arrangement of lines, such that each point is incident to the same number of lines and each line is incident to the same number of points.
