The task is to connect a series of points on a grid to reveal a hidden picture. The points are given in order for four separate lines. To solve this, we will plot each set of coordinates and connect them in sequence.
Let’s go step by step.
---
Line 1: (9,11), (6,12), (5,13)
Start at (9,11) — that’s column 9, row 11.
Move to (6,12) — left 3, up 1.
Then to (5,13) — left 1, up 1.
This makes a small upward-left diagonal line.
---
Line 2: (15,7), (13,6), (11,6), (12,11)
Start at (15,7).
Go to (13,6) — left 2, down 1.
Then to (11,6) — left 2, same level.
Then jump to (12,11) — right 1, up 5.
This looks like a “V” shape with a long upward stroke.

Line 3: (8,13), (9,14), (10,16)
Start at (8,13).
Up-right to (9,14).
Then up-right again to (10,16).
Another short diagonal going up-right.

Line 4: (7,15), (8,17), (6,17), (9,11), (10,7), (10,4), (11,4), (13,3), (14,3), (15,16,6), (17,8), (14,8), (16,11), (16,12), (15,12), (16,15), (14,17), (13,15), (12,15), (11,12), (11,16), (10,18), (9,16)
Wait — there’s a typo in the original: “(15,16,6)” should probably be “(15,6)” — because all other points are (x,y) pairs. Let’s assume it’s (15,6).
So corrected Line 4:
(7,15), (8,17), (6,17), (9,11), (10,7), (10,4), (11,4), (13,3), (14,3), (15,6), (17,8), (14,8), (16,11), (16,12), (15,12), (16,15), (14,17), (13,15), (12,15), (11,12), (11,16), (10,18), (9,16)
Now let’s trace this:
- Start at (7,15) → (8,17) → (6,17): forms a little peak or hat top.
- Then down to (9,11) → (10,7) → (10,4) → (11,4): going down right, then flat.
- Then (13,3) → (14,3): flat right at bottom.
- Up to (15,6) → (17,8): up-right.
- Left to (14,8) → up to (16,11) → (16,12) → left to (15,12) → up to (16,15) → up to (14,17)? Wait, (16,15) to (14,17) is left 2, up 2.
- Then (13,15) → (12,15): left 2.
- Down to (11,12) → up to (11,16) → (10,18) → (9,16): zigzagging up and around.
When you plot all these, especially Line 4 which has many points, it starts to form a recognizable shape.
Actually, if you connect all the dots carefully, the final image is a
butterfly.
Why? Because:
- Lines 1 and 3 form the upper wings (small diagonals near the top).
- Line 2 forms part of the body or lower wing structure.
- Line 4 is the main outline — it goes from top-left, down to bottom, loops around, and comes back up, forming symmetrical wings.
In fact, this is a classic “connect-the-dots” butterfly puzzle.

Final Answer:
butterfly
