This article provides a new perspective on the geometry of a projective line, which helps clarify and illuminate some classical results about projective plane. As part of the same train of ideas, the article also provides a proof of the nine-point circle theorem valid for any affine plane over a commutative field of characteristic different from 2.
Keywords: Projective line, involution, eleven-point conic, nine-point circle.
