IX into 6

After teaching his class all about roman numerals (X=10, IX=9 and so on) the teacher asked his class to draw a single continuous line and turn IX into 6. The only stipulation the teacher made was that the pen could not be lifted from the paper until the line was complete. Can you do it?

Answer

Draw an S in front of the IX and it spells SIX. The line need not be straight.
