Lemma 10.81.2. Let M be an R-module. Then M is flat if and only if the following condition holds: if P is a finitely presented R-module and f: P \to M a module map, then there is a free finite R-module F and module maps h: P \to F and g: F \to M such that f = g \circ h.
Proof. This is just a reformulation of condition (4) from Lemma 10.81.1. \square
