① This example dynamically demonstrates the graph of a linear equation y = mx + b using slope triangles, making the concept of slope visually intuitive. ② Core mathematical concepts include linear equations, slope, intercepts, right triangles, and coordinate geometry involving points, segments, and intersections. ③ Construction highlights: GeoGebra commands such as Sequence, Random, Point, Line, Intersect, Polygon, and Segment are used to create the line, random points, slope triangles, and intersection points; FractionText displays slope as a fraction, while sliders and buttons allow interactive parameter changes, with multiple text objects guiding the steps. ④ Suitable for middle school to high school students learning linear functions and coordinate geometry, as well as for teachers demonstrating the geometric meaning of slope in class.
