Dual geometry with 5 points question

AI Thread Summary
To construct the dual geometry of a 3D figure with five points, one must interchange the roles of points and lines, using the lines of the original geometry as points in the dual geometry. The hyperbolic parallel property and incidence axioms must be preserved in this transformation. The dual geometry can be analyzed to determine if it maintains the properties of incidence geometry, which involves checking if the incidence relations hold true after the interchange. Understanding the definitions and properties of dual geometry is crucial for this proof or disproof. Ultimately, the construction and verification process will clarify the relationship between the original geometry and its dual.

Okay so I am given a 3D figure with 5 points. Keep in mind this model has the hyperbolic parallel property and satisfies the incidence axioms. The question is to construct the dual geometry and then to prove or disprove that it is an incidence geometry. My question is how do I go about constructing the dual geometry? I don't exactly know what they mean by dual geometry.

The "dual geometry" to geometry "T" uses the lines of T as its points and the points of T as its lines.
