Definition
Let $A$ and $B$ be plane geometric figures.
Let $A$ and $B$ be such that their points are in one-to-one correspondence such that the lines joining pairs of corresponding points lie on the same straight line $L$.
Then $A$ and $B$ are in perspective from a line, and that line is $L$.
Axis of Perspective
Let $A$ and $B$ be in perspective from a line $L$.
Then $L$ is known as the axis of perspective of $A$ and $B$.
