AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw the intersection line formed when a cylinder intersects a plane, showcasing the curve created. Start by plotting the cylinder's axis and selecting two points on it to form part of the intersection. Then find the midpoint of the axis and connect it to the selected points, creating two line segments. Next, determine the intersection points using an input equation and connect them to the points on the cylinder to form the intersection line. Finally, display text prompts based on certain conditions.
