Axiom in Euclidean geometry Wikidata
An axiom of Euclidean geometry equivalent to the statement that, given a straight line L and a point P not on the line, there exists exactly one straight line parallel to L that passes through P; a variant of this axiom, such that the number of lines parallel to L that pass through P may be zero or more than one.
