This example demonstrates the plotting and manipulation of linear graphs during the growth of sunflowers. Core math concepts include linear functions, coordinate systems, and intersection calculations. GeoGebra commands and objects used in construction are Point, Function, Intersect, LaTeX, and Polygon. Suitable for high school mathematics teaching, particularly for the sunflower activity in Project Maths.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Point(xAxis) → F
  2. Function((m * x) + c, 0, 30) → a
  3. Intersect(a, yAxis) → C
  4. Function((e * x) + b, 0, 30) → g
  5. Intersect(g, yAxis) → A
  6. LaTeX(f) → text2
  7. LaTeX(h) → text3
  8. Polygon(B, D, E, F) → poly1, b_1, d_1, e_1, f_1
  9. Polygon(G, H, I, J) → poly2, g_1, h_1, i, j
