The correct answer is: 54
If yI then y-7,-6,....,0,1,...,6,7
Total integral points on x22+y2=50 are 12 which are
2,7,14,1,2,-7-14,1,-2,7,14,-1-2,-7,-14,-1,10,510,-5,-10,5-10,-5
Total number of lines passing through at least two points among these are 12C2=66 in which x=2,x=-2, x=14, x=-14, x=10, x=-10, y=1, y=7, y=-1, y=-7, y=5, y=-5 are rejected.
Total number of lines are 66-12=54.
