Choose a famous linear shape from another country.
Choose a global structure that has some meaning to you. (Outside of the United States)

Use Desmos to draw a graphical representation of the image.

1. Copy and paste the image and url onto slide 5.

2. Graph the image in Desmos using only lines.
3. Copy and paste the image and Desmos url on slide 5 next to the actual image.

Example on slide 4.

Must have at least 10 different lines graphed. At least 4 of the lines must have a slope that is
not 0 or not undefined. No tables can be used to create graphs.

Choose an image that you can create with only lines, no other shapes.
