- How many reference lines?
- One line only: Not enough information
- Multiple possible locations
- Two perpendicular lines: Unique position
- Horizontal position from Line 1
- Point located successfully
- Vertical position from Line 2
- Horizontal position from Line 1
- One line only: Not enough information
- How many reference lines?
