QUESTIONS:

Does this interpretation satisfy the incidence axiom I-1?

Does this interpretation satisfy the incidence axiom I-2?

Does this interpretation satisfy the incidence axiom I-3?

Is this interpretation a model?

Determine whether this interpretation has the elliptic, Euclidean, of hyperbolic parallel property.

ANSWERS:

Does this interpretation satisfy the incidence axiom I-1?

Yes, if P and Q are any of the letters A, B, and C, {P, Q} is the unique line in which they both lie.

Does this interpretation satisfy the incidence axiom I-2?

Yes, every line in this interpretation has exactly two points, therefore at least two.

Does this interpretation satisfy the incidence axiom I-3?

Yes, points A, B, and C are distinct and non-collinear.

Is this interpretation a model?

Yes, all three incidence axioms I-1, I-2, and I-3 are satisfied.

Determine whether this interpretation has the elliptic, Euclidean, of hyperbolic parallel property.

This interpretation has the elliptic parallel property, because any two lines intersect.
