Determining The Line Passing Through A Pair of Points

Let P1 and P2 be a pair of points, both in a projective plane and expressed in homogeneous coordinates:

Let g−1 be the inverse duality mapping:

which maps points onto their dual lines. Then the unique line passing through points P1 and P2 is L3 where

    I esteem it the happiness of this country that its settlers, whilst they were exploring their granted and natural rights and determining the power of the magistrate, were united by personal affection. Members of a church before whose searching covenant all rank was abolished, they stood in awe of each other, as religious men.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    There is a line between a definite maybe and an indefinite yes.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    Frequently also some fair-weather finery ripped off a vessel by a storm near the coast was nailed up against an outhouse. I saw fastened to a shed near the lighthouse a long new sign with the words “ANGLO SAXON” on it in large gilt letters, as if it were a useless part which the ship could afford to lose, or which the sailors had discharged at the same time with the pilot. But it interested somewhat as if it had been a part of the Argo, clipped off in passing through the Symplegades.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    To get a man soundly saved it is not enough to put on him a pair of new breeches, to give him regular work, or even to give him a University education. These things are all outside a man, and if the inside remains unchanged you have wasted your labour. You must in some way or other graft upon the man’s nature a new nature, which has in it the element of the Divine.
    William Booth (1829–1912)

    We only part to meet again.
    Change, as ye list, ye winds: my heart shall be
    The faithful compass that still points to thee.
    John Gay (1685–1732)
