Line 35:
The dual of an [[inflection point]] will give a [[Cusp (singularity)|cusp]] and two points sharing the same tangent line will give a self-intersection point on the dual.
 
From the projective description, one may compute the dual of the dual:<blockquote><math>(x(y'x'y'-x'-y'x''),\, y(y'x'y'-x'-y'x''),\, y'x'y'-x'-y'x''),</math></blockquote>which is projectively equivalent to the original curve <math>(x(t),y(t),1)</math>.
