Intersection of A Pair of Lines
Let L1 and L2 be a pair of lines, both in a projective plane and expressed in homogeneous coordinates:
where m1 and m2 are slopes and b1 and b2 are y-intercepts. Moreover let g be the duality mapping
which maps lines onto their dual points. Then the intersection of lines L1 and L2 is point P3 where

“You can always tell a Midwestern couple in Europe because they will be standing in the middle of a busy intersection looking at a wind-blown map and arguing over which way is west. European cities, with their wandering streets and undisciplined alleys, drive Midwesterners practically insane.”

“So people and things don’t pair anymore
With what they used to pair with before.”

The country was ruined, the whole world was ruined; nothing like this had ever happened before. There was no hope, but everyone felt the courage of despair.”
—Rose Wilder Lane (1886–1968)
