① This example demonstrates how to represent lines and planes in 3D space using vector forms, with interactive visualization of their geometric relationships. ② Core mathematical concepts include parametric vector equations of lines, point-normal form of planes, vector operations (dot and cross products), and algebraic representation of spatial geometric elements. ③ Construction highlights: GeoGebra commands such as Vector, Plane, PointIn, Line, Sequence, and Point are used; objects include multiple origins (Origin_B, Origin_F, Origin_H), points A, E, T1, plane objects BrownPlaneOrigin_B and BrownPlane_A, a matrix M_matrix, and a button for interaction. ④ Suitable for high school advanced or undergraduate students learning analytic geometry and linear algebra, and for teachers as a classroom demonstration tool to visualize the correspondence between vector forms and spatial figures.
