Description

### What is the conjecture

https://www.erdosproblems.com/588

Let $f_k(n)$ be minimal such that if $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^2$ have no $k+1$ points on a line then there must be at most $f_k(n)$ many lines containing at least $k$ points. Is it true that
$$f_k(n)=o(n^2)$$
for $k\geq 4$?

Status: open
