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
