l(A,B,C) =Q m(A,C',B') =P l(A,C,B)

L(a,b,c) =q M(a,c',b') =p L(a,c,b)

i) A=A'. Then we can take the perspectivity from l onto m with center BB'.CC'.

ii) The six points are distinct and lm. See the drawing.

Choose n through A' and P on AA'.
B" and C" are the projections of B and C from P on n.
Then we can take the composition φoψ where ψ is the perspectivity from l onto n with center P, and φ the perspectivity from n onto m with center B'B".C'C".

iii) The six points are lying on one line, so l=m.

Study the picture above and show we can take a projectivity that is the product of three perspectivities.
