The required general linear position condition is that every of the representing vectors are linearly independent. Such an ordered configuration is a projective frame.
Choose representatives of the first projective points; they form a basis. Write a representative of the last point as . Every is nonzero: otherwise the last point together with the other basis points would fail the independence condition. Rescale the basis representatives to , so that .
Do the same for the target configuration, obtaining representatives with . The unique linear map sending the basis to is invertible and also sends to . Its induced projective transformation sends every point to its prescribed partner. Thus any two ordered projective frames are projectively equivalent.
