Generalization of Simson Line and Antipodal Points – Metric and Projective Geometry

mg.metric-geometryplane-geometryprojective-geometryreference-requestterminology

First time, I found a line associated with antipodal points, detail:

Let $ABC$ be a triangle, $(C)$ is circumconic of $ABC$. $P$ and $P'$ are two antipodal points. Construct three lines through $P'$ and parallel to $PA$, $PB$, $PC$ meets $BC$, $CA$, $AB$ respectively at three collinear points, the new line through the center of circumconic.

Question: Is a line associated with antipodal points above known?

Update: But the fact, the result is generalization of the Simson line, I reformulate as follows:

Let $ABC$ be a triangle, $P$ be a point in the plane, let $(C)$ is the Nine point conic of $A$, $B$, $C$, $P$. Let $O$ be arbitrary point on $C$, $P'$ is the reflection of $P$ in $O$. Then three lines through $P'$ and parallel to $PA$, $PB$, $PC$ meet three lines $BC$, $CA$, $AB$ respectively at three collinear point.

When $P$ is the orthorcenter, the line is the Simson line of $P'$

Question again: The generalization of the Simson line above is known?

Best Answer

This is not an answer, but I'd like to point out that the concepts in question are projective, although they have a special Euclidean case.

Consider the diagram below. Start with a conic $\gamma$(green), a triangle $ABC$ inscribed in $\gamma$, and a line $\omega$ (black dot-dashed). Let $X$ be the polar of $\omega$ wrt the conic, and draw a line (dotted) through $X$ that meets $\omega$ at $P,P'$. Let the dashed lines through $P'$ meet the respective lines from $P$ to $A,B,C$ at $\omega$. Then the dashed lines meet the triangle sides at collinear points (red), and $X$ lies on this line.

The OP is the special case when $\omega$ is the projective line at infinity.

So, if the line in OP Question 1 is known, and anybody is trying to hunt it down, it may be in the projective geometry literature.
