In a field plane PG(2, F), a line ax+by+cz = 0, not through the vertices of the triangle of reference ABC, intersects the sides BC, CA, AB in the points X, Y, Z, respectively. Let P = YBn ZC, Q = ZCn XA, and R = XANYB. Show that AP, BQ, and CR are concurrent, and find the coordinates of the point of concurrency.
