AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a horizontal number line with two decimal numbers to be added. Use sliders to adjust the two addends, marking their positions with colored points. From the origin, draw two vectors pointing to these points. Then draw a vector from the first addend point to the sum point, and another from the second addend point to the sum point. Connect relevant points with segments to form a parallelogram or triangle, visually illustrating the geometric meaning of decimal addition on the number line.
