① This example demonstrates the trial data of automated tractors mowing fields of various sizes, plotting a scatter plot and fitting a linear function model. ② Core mathematical concepts include linear functions, linear equations, scatter plots, similarity transformations, and area calculation of rectangular fields. ③ Construction highlights: Corner and Polygon create rectangular fields; Sequence generates multiple trial points; Line draws the fitted line; Slider animates parameter changes; Textfield and VerticalText label coordinates and values. ④ Suitable for high‑school algebra and statistics courses, and as a college‑prep demonstration of linear regression and geometric modeling.
