The two pairs of regular functions
define maps to the projective line on the loci where their respective coordinates do not vanish simultaneously. Those loci cover , since simultaneous failure would force . On their overlap the equation says that the two projective points are equal. They therefore glue to a morphism
Let be the homogeneous coordinates on . The pullback of the hyperplane divisor has local equation on the first chart and on the second. It is therefore exactly . Compatibility of the pullback of a sheaf of modules with the line bundle associated to a divisor gives
This is the ruling morphism of the punctured three-dimensional affine quadric cone associated with .
