Solution
40
Number of straight lines formed by joining the 10 points if we take 2 points at a time =\[{}^{10} C_2 = \frac{10}{2} \times \frac{9}{1} = 45\]
Number of straight lines formed by joining the 4 points if we take 2 points at a time =\[{}^4 C_2 = \frac{4}{2} \times \frac{3}{1} = 6\]\
But, 4 collinear points, when joined in pairs, give only one line.
∴ Required number of straight lines =\[45 - 6 + 1 = 40\]
