It all depends on the arrangement of the dots. Besides, there is nothing about straight lines, so used curved lines instead
I can do it with 7 lines... But I cannot draw in this Wiki interface...
a star drawn with five lines will give you 10 dots on 5 lines with only 4 dots on each line. (or) simply draw a pentagon and put a cap ( a inverted 'V') on all sides.
distribute the 12 dots around the perimeter of a pentagon
To connect 9 dots with 4 lines, you must think outside the box. The key is to draw lines that extend beyond the boundaries of the dots. Start by drawing a line that goes through the first three dots in an L shape, then continue the line outside the dots to connect the remaining dots. This unconventional approach allows you to connect all 9 dots with just 4 lines.

It depends on where the dots are located. If they are all collinear only one straight line is required. For a 5x5 grid, only 5 lines are required.
Draw a line from one dot in the center to the other four dots. Or, draw a straight line. Place dots at either end of the line, and place dots in the center of the line.
Rubicon - 2010 Connect the Dots 1-5 was released on: USA: 22 August 2010 Japan: 10 January 2012 Finland: 26 February 2012
You start by drawing a circle then draw 3+ dots on the circled edge, next connect all the dots with each other but don't go over the same line twice. for a 4 dotted circle you should end up with 6 lines altogether and with 5 you should have 10 lines altogether also 6-15 7=21 10=45 11=55 12=66
Gary haves 5 dots on both sides so 10 dots in all
A short summary has 10 lines.

Here are the 12 dots, labeled so we can talk about them:[1] - [ 2 ] - [ 3 ] - [ 4 ] -[5] - [ 6 ] - [ 7 ] - [ 8 ] -[9] - [10] - [11] - [12] --- Put your pencil down on #9, and don't pick it up until you're finished.-- Draw line-1 up through #5 and #1, and keep going up for a ways,just far enough so you can do the next step with a straight line.-- Draw line-2 slanting down through #2, #7, and #12.-- Draw line-3 straight to the left, through #11, #10, and back to #9.-- Draw line-4 slanting up, through #6 and #3, and keep going fora ways, until you're exactly straight up above #4.-- Draw line-5 straight down, through #4 and #8 .It all depends on the arrangement of the dots.Besides, there is nothing about straight lines, so used curved lines insteaddistribute the 12 dots around the perimeter of a pentagonSince you didn't specify the lines have to be the same length... Arrange the dots in a grid as follows :-OOOOOOOOOOOOThen - starting at he top left corner, draw a 'square spiral' (doesn't matter whether you go clockwise or anti--clockwise) - this will cover ALL the dots AND use only five lines !See Related Link below for a graphic.It all depends on the arrangement of the dots.Besides, there is nothing about straight lines, so used curved lines instead
