The Nitty Gritty Details

If we let k = nT l and cancel terms we find we have the matrix equation

 w
=



 (kalx) −blx −clx −dlx


 −aly (kbly) −cly −dly
 −alz −blz (kclz) −dlz
 −alw −blw −clw (kdlw)

It's not difficult to see that w' = nTlnTslw. For both possible values of lw (1 or 0), we find that w' = β so the point p' is transformed into the point p by perspective division.
