Problem

A rectangle, with sides parallel to the $x$-axis and $y$-axis, has opposite vertices located at $(15, 3)$ and $(16, 5)$. A line drawn through points $A(0, 0)$ and $B(3, 1)$. Another line is drawn through points $C(0, 10)$ and $D(2, 9)$. How many points on the rectangle lie on at least one of the two lines?

$\textbf{(A)}\ 0 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 1 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 2 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 3 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 4$

Solution

The answer is $\textbf{B}.$
