PascalTheorem::usage=" In any hexagon inscribed in a conical section, the continuations of opposite sides meet on a straight line, called the Pascal line. This property is repeated in Geometry, there is also the Monge's theorem and the Desargues' theorem. References: Personal, based in the Pascal's theorem. ";
Development:
Obtaining the vertices of the hexagon in numerical form:
