Given a line having trilinear coordinate equation
with respect to a reference triangle , the point
is called the trilinear pole of the line with respect to (Kimberling 1998, p. 38).
The following table gives the trilinear poles for some named lines.
Let
be the intercept of the line
and
, and let
be the harmonic conjugate
of
with respect to
and
.
Similarly define
and
.
Then
is the Cevian triangle of the trilinear pole of
.
