Geometry!! Affine Geometry on Nine Points Axiom 1: There exists at least three noncollinear points. Axiom 2: Every line contains at least two points. Axiom 3: Each two points belong to at least one line. Axiom 4: Given a line and a point not on it, there exists exactly one line containing that point that does not intersect the given line. 1. Draw a model of this geometry. 2. Prove the following theorem: Each point lies on exactly four lines.
For number 1, see attached. For number 2, try a proof by contradiction. Suppose there exists a point that does not line on 4 lines, then use the axioms and go from there.
lie on 4 lines*. Typo, sorry.
