Given a set of n points (xi, yi) in 2D coordinate. Each point has some weight wi. The task is to check whether a line at 45 degrees can be drawn so that sum of weights of points on each side is equal.
Examples: 
 

Input : x1 = -1, y1 = 1, w1 = 3
x2 = -2, y2 = 1, w2 = 1
x3 = 1, y3 = -1, w3 = 4

Output : Yes

Input : x1 = 1, y1 = 1, w1 = 2
x2 = -1, y2 = 1, w2 = 1
x3 = 1, y3 = -1, w3 = 2

Output : No

First, let’s try to solve the above problem for a vertical line i.e if a line x = i can divide the plane into two-part such that the sum of weight at each side is equal. 
Observe, multiple points with the same x-coordinate can be treated as one point with a weight equal to the sum of weights of all points with the same x-coordinate. 
Now, traverse through all x-coordinates from the minimum x-coordinate to maximum x-coordinate. So, make an array prefix_sum[], which will store the sum of weights till the point x = i
So, there can be two options for which the answer can be ‘Yes’: 
 

  • Either prefix_sum[1, 2, …, i-1] = prefix_sum[i+1, …, n] 
     
  • or there exist a point i such that a line passes somewhere in between 
    x = i and x = i+1 and prefix_sum[1, …, i] = prefix_sum[i+1, …, n], 
    where prefix_sum[i, …, j] is the sum of weight of points from i to j. 
     

 

int is_possible = false;
for (int i = 1; i < prefix_sum.size(); i++)
  if (prefix_sum[i] == total_sum - prefix_sum[i])
    is_possible = true
  
  if (prefix_sum[i-1] == total_sum - prefix_sum[i])
    is_possible = true

Now, to solve for a line at 45 degrees, we will rotate each point by 45 degrees. 
Refer: 2D Transformation or Rotation of objects 
So, point at (x, y), after 45 degree rotation will become ((x – y)/sqrt(2), (x + y)/sqrt(2)). 
We can ignore the sqrt(2) since it is the scaling factor. Also, we don’t need to care about y-coordinate after rotation because a vertical line cannot distinguish between the point having the same x-coordinate. (x, y1) and (x, y2) will lie to the right, left or on any line of the form x = k.
