Problem: Minimum Number of Lines to Cover Points

med
30 min
Explore how to calculate the minimum number of straight lines required to cover given points on an XY plane. Understand the problem constraints and develop efficient solutions using geometric reasoning and coding patterns. Practice implementing your approach to strengthen your coding interview skills in math and geometry 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.
