This example demonstrates a dynamic construction where a slider controls a point C that travels continuously between two fixed points A and B, showing real‑time coordinate updates. The core mathematics includes linear interpolation in coordinate geometry, parametric equations, continuity, and the visualisation of a function graph. Construction highlights: Textfield objects create input boxes; an If statement evaluates the slider value; points A, B, n, a, b, c are defined; inputBox1 and inputBox2 capture user‑entered coordinate expressions; point C is then defined to move with the slider n. It is suitable for high‑school analytic geometry and function lessons, as well as introductory university courses on parametric line segments.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Textfield(a) → inputBox1
  2. Textfield(b) → inputBox2
  3. If(b > 0, 0 * n + b, b) → c

AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Create a dynamic illustration showing a slider controlling point C moving continuously between two fixed points, updating coordinates in real-time. The slider moves C based on input coordinate expressions between A and B, with text boxes for input and a conditional statement determining direction, suitable for demonstrating linear interpolation, parametric equations, and function graphs.
