The equation of straight line is y = ax + b
Changing co-ordinates, we get
b = -ax + y

Plot the above obtained eq. of line on the graph paper and then find a point through which maximum number of lines pass
From the graph, we observe that 4 lines intersect a common point i.e. a = 2.7 & b = -4.
By using these values of a and b we can write another eq. of line in xy-plane i.e. y = 2.7x – 4
Hence, four lines intersecting at one point in ab-plane means there are three points on one line in xy-plane
