Equation of a Line in an Affine Space defined by two point P and Q and t a real

set of point of the form (1-t) P + t Q

Equation of a Plane in an Affine Space defined by three not collinear point P, Q and R

set of point of the form (1-s) ((1-t) P + t Q) +s R

Vector and affine linear subspace are resp. vector and affine space

V : Non empty subset which is stable through the addition and the multiplication by a real

A : such as the set of the difference between any element of A is a linear vector subspace
