The intersection of a line in Plücker coordinates with a plane covector is the first displayed homogeneous vector: it lies in the span of the defining points and its contraction with is zero by antisymmetry. A zero vector means the whole line is contained in the plane. Dually, the plane through the line and a point or ideal direction is given by the second formula; it vanishes if is already on the line. These operations require no Euclidean lengths or angles.
