The document considers 5 non-collinear points (A, B, C, D, E) and calculates the number of lines that can be drawn between two points. It determines that there are 4 lines through point A, 3 additional lines through point B, 2 more lines through point C, and 1 final line through point D/E, for a total of 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 10 lines.
