There exist exactly five points. There exist exactly five lines. Any two distinct points have exactly one line on both of them. Each line is on exactly two points. Explore the five point geometry as follows. Draw five points using Geogebra. Use Axiom 3 to draw all required lines. How many lines did you construct? Compare this answer to Axiom 2.

Construct an equilateral triangle with side length matching a given segment. Given a line segment construct the perpendicular bisector of it. Construct a square with side length matching a given segment. Construct the midpoint of a line segment. Construct a line parallel to a given line through a given point.

Choose three points on one of the lines and find the points on the second line to which they are mapped by the perspectivity defined by your chosen point. Two triangles are perspective with respect to a point if and only if the lines connecting corresponding pairs of vertices are incident in a point.

Axiom Given a line and a point not on that line there exists at least two lines through the point and parallel to the lines. There were three major variants (wordings) of the Euclidean parallel postulate. Conjecture what these look like in hyperbolic geometry.

Add the axiom: every point is on at least one line. To your line with three points, and one point not on that line add any lines required by this new axiom. If so, do so, and be sure the axioms are satisfied. What do the answers to 5, 9, and 11 say about this attempt at constructing a geometry? What is needed to fix the difficulty noted in the previous question?
