14. PostulatesPoints, Lines and Planes (p. 7):
1-1-1 Through any two points there
is exactly one line.

the line containing those points
lies in the plane.
15. PostulatesIntersection of Lines and Planes (p. 8):
1-1-4 If two lines intersect, then they intersect in exactly one point.
1-1-5 If two planes intersect, then they intersect in exactly one line.
