projective line
A projective line is a fundamental concept in projective geometry, consisting of all the points in the plane that lie on a straight line. It is created by adding a "point at infinity" to each line in the plane, resulting in a set of points where parallel lines meet. This concept plays a central role in projective geometry by allowing for the representation of geometric objects in a way that preserves collinearity and ratios of distances.
