A rectangular pool table has vertices at (0,0)(12,0)(0,10)(0,0)(12,0)(0,10), and (12,10)(12,10). There are pockets only in the four corners. A ball is hit from (0,0)(0,0) along the line y=xy=x and bounces off several walls before eventually entering a pocket. Find the number of walls that the ball bounces off of before entering a pocket.
