A theorem of projective geometry: given two triples of points A,B,C and A′,B′,C′ on a non-degenerate conic, the points of intersection
are collinear. Pappus’ Hexagon Theorem can be seen as a version of Pascal’s theorem for degenerate conics.
The dual of Pascal’s theorem is Brianchon’s theorem: if a hexagon with vertices P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6 circumscribes a non-degenerate conic, then the hexagon’s diagonals P1P4, P2P5, P3P6 are concurrent. See duality.
