On to the Challenge!
Can you draw 4 lines that cover all 9 points? Whoa, whoa, whoa. Not so fast.
Rules:
- One one vertical line allowed (x = #)
- Only one horizontal line allowed (y = #)
- You can only have your 4 lines intersect on, at most, one of the given points. And the origin can’t be one of these intersection points.
The starter graph is found here.
Yay! Procrastination!

I do this without a graph as an icebreaker with my math students and this is the answer. I might start to use this version in the fall.
