Problem: Minimum Number of Lines to Cover Points

Medium
30 min
Explore how to solve the problem of covering all given points on a 2D plane with the fewest straight lines. Understand geometric constraints and develop strategies to efficiently calculate the minimum number of lines required. This lesson helps build skills in tackling common math and geometry coding challenges.

Statement

Given a 2D integer array, points, where points[i] =[xi,yi]= [x_i,y_i] represents a point on an XY plane, find the minimum number of straight lines required to cover all the points.

Note: Straight lines will be added to the XY plane to ensure that every point is covered by at least one line.

Constraints:

  • 11\leq points.length 10\leq10

  • points[i].length ==2== 2

  • 100-100\leq xi,yix_i, y_i 100\leq100

  • All the points are unique.
