$n$-dimensional projective space $\mathbb{P}^n(k)$ over $k$, realised as the projectivization of $k^{n+1}$.
The projective point $[v_0 : \cdots : v_n] \in \mathbb{P}^n(k)$ associated to a nonzero vector $v \in k^{n+1}$.
A choice of homogeneous coordinates representing a projective point.
Homogeneous coordinates of a projective point are nonzero.
Two nonzero vectors in $k^{n+1}$ determine the same projective point iff they differ by a nonzero scalar.
Variant of mk_eq_mk_iff allowing the scalar to range over $k$; since $w \neq 0$, the scalar is automatically a unit.

Taking representative coordinates and forming a projective point recovers the original projective point.
The projective plane $\mathbb{P}^2(k)$.
The projective line $\mathbb{P}^1(k)$.
