Problem
A plane contains 
lines, no 
of which are parallel. Suppose that there are 
points where exactly lines intersect, 
points where exactly lines intersect, 
points where exactly lines intersect, 
points where exactly lines intersect, and no points where more than lines intersect. Find the number of points where exactly lines intersect.
Solution
In this solution, let 
-line points be the points where exactly 
lines intersect. We wish to find the number of -line points.
There are 
pairs of lines. Among them:
- The
-line points account for 
pairs of lines.
pairs of lines.- The
-line points account for 
pairs of lines.
pairs of lines.- The
-line points account for 
pairs of lines.
pairs of lines.- The
-line points account for 
pairs of lines.
pairs of lines.It follows that the -line points account for 
pairs of lines, where each pair intersect at a single point.
