AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a horizontal line with two fixed points. Choose a point on the line as the center and draw two concentric circles with radii 4 and 2. Construct a perpendicular line through the center intersecting both circles at several points. Use these intersections to create vectors and translate points, drawing small circles to generate evenly spaced points above and below the line. Finally, place many points along the line as integer markers, forming a geometric number line that visually represents integer addition and subtraction.
