Given qa, qb, qc as points at infinity, co-planar lying on the plane P: if a plane contains non-ideal points it intersects the ideal plane in a line: the plane cannot be the ideal plane all distinct planes intersect in a line -> a plane containing non-ideal points will intersect the ideal plane in a line at infinity qa,qb,qc lie on the ideal plane qa,qb,qc lie on P -> qa,qb,qc lie on the intersection of P and the ideal plane P and the ideal plane intersect in a line at infinity -> qa,qb,qc are co-linear
