If you just slant the diagonals you will get your 6th point.

The answer is 6.
Think of it this way. Each of the four lines intersects the other three once each. And two lines cross at each intersection. So the total number of intersections is:
4*3/2 = 6

Six. Think of the four lines as being drawn sequentially. First you draw one line. The second line is drawn to intersect the first, so that's one point. Then a third line is drawn to intersect the first two at different points, so that's two more points of intersection, for a total of three points. Finally a fourth line is drawn to intersect each of the first three lines at different points, for three more points of intersection, for a total of six points.
