AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a parabola with vertex at (h, k) and equation y = a(x - h)² + k, where a is a random number between 1 and 10. Users input h and k through text fields. Also, draw a parabola with vertex at (b, d) and equation y = r(x - b)² + d, where b and d are randomly selected from a set of predefined values, and r is 1, 2, or 3. Finally, display a parabola with vertex at (e, 0) where e is randomly selected from a set of predefined values.
