The following problem is from both the 2019 AMC 10A #14 and 2019 AMC 12A #8, so both problems redirect to this page.

For a set of four distinct lines in a plane, there are exactly $N$ distinct points that lie on two or more of the lines. What is the sum of all possible values of $N$ ?

$\textbf{(A) } 14 \qquad \textbf{(B) } 16 \qquad \textbf{(C) } 18 \qquad \textbf{(D) } 19 \qquad \textbf{(E) } 21$

-==Solution==
-Drawing <math>4</math> lines, you see that the maximum points of intersection is <math>6</math>. Then, we see that we can not make <math>5</math> intersection points and can just make a quadrilateral, triangle, two T's, and one pair of coordinate axis to make <math>4,3,2,</math> and <math>1</math> points of intersection. Thus the answer is <math>1+2+3+4+6</math> to get <math>16, B</math>
