From the image provided, the configuration illustrates Desargues' theorem, which states that two triangles are in perspective axially (from a line) if and only if they are in perspective centrally (from a point).

The line $\ell_8$ serves as the axis of perspectivity for the two triangles that are perspective from it. By observing the geometric relationships, the two triangles that are perspective from $\ell_8$ are:

1. Triangle $\triangle ABC$
2. Triangle $\triangle DEF$

Explanation:

• $\ell_8$ is the common line (axis of perspectivity) where the pairs of corresponding vertices (e.g., $A \leftrightarrow D$, $B \leftrightarrow E$, and $C \leftrightarrow F$) projectively intersect.
