Two projective triangles are in perspectivity from a point when their three corresponding-vertex projective lines , , and all pass through .
Desargues's theorem: perspectivity from a point implies perspectivity from a line. More explicitly, if are concurrent, then the three corresponding-side intersectionsare collinear. The usual statement assumes nondegenerate projective triangles and well-defined, distinct corresponding-side intersections. The projective line containing is the axis of perspectivity from a line. All intersections are projective: parallel lines in an affine chart meet on its projective line at infinity.
