Let $S$ be a finite set of points in the plane. A linear partition of $S$ is an unordered pair $\{A,B\}$ of subsets of $S$ such that $A\cup B=S,\ A\cap B=\emptyset,$ and $A$ and $B$ lie on opposite sides of some straight line disjoint from $S$ ($A$ or $B$ may be empty). Let $L_{S}$ be the number of linear partitions of $S.$ For each positive integer $n,$ find the maximum of $L_{S}$ over all sets $S$ of $n$ points.
