It depends on where the dots are located.
You need to extend the lines far beyond the box of dots. Your answer should look like a really tall and skinny N.
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.
This is a well known puzzle. The challenge is to draw through a 3x3 grid of 9 dots using only 4 connected straight lines. If we label the dots from top left to bottom right 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 then the explanation will be easier. The first line must go diagonally down and right from 1 to 9 then top on 9. The second line goes straight left from 9 to 7, and then continues on the rough length of another (imaginary) dot. The third line goes diagonally up and right through 4 and 2, and then continues the length of another imaginary dot. The final line goes straight down through 3 and 5.

The answer is 1= two lines and a dot, 3= three lines, and 9= a line and two dots
If this is the one where the dots are in a square 3 x 3, and every dot must be connected by a straight line to every other dot, I do not think it can be done.

Simply draw 3 rows of three dots to show that the dots form a square, as shown below:. . .. . .. . .
