Exercise 15, § 9

Algebra, II, 415

In a projective plane over a field K with at least three elements, let s,a,b,c,a′,b′,c′s, a, b, c, a', b', c' be seven distinct points such that {s,a,b,c}\{s, a, b, c\} and {s,a′,b′,c′}\{s, a', b', c'\} are projective bases (Exercise 10) and the lines Dsa,Dsb,DscD_{sa}, D_{sb}, D_{sc} pass respectively through a′,b′,c′a', b', c'. Show that the intersection points rr of DabD_{ab} and Da′b′,pD_{a'b'}, p of DbcD_{bc} and Db′c′D_{b'c'}, qq of DcaD_{ca} and Dc′a′D_{c'a'} lie on a straight line ("Desargues's theorem"; method analogous to that of Exercise 14).
