On the sets of \(n\) points forming \(n+1\) directions (Q2290351)

Summary: Let \(S\) be a set of \(n\geq 7\) points in the plane, no three of which are collinear. Suppose that \(S\) determines \(n+1\) directions. That is to say, the segments whose endpoints are in \(S\) form \(n+1\) distinct slopes. We prove that \(S\) is, up to an affine transformation, equal to \(n\) of the vertices of a regular \((n+1)\)-gon. This result was conjectured in 1986 by R. E. Jamison.
