AI Drawing Prompt Reference
Draw a geometric representation of inequalities using algebra tiles. Start by plotting a coordinate system and placing several points randomly on the x-axis, then connect these points to form polygons. Add geometric elements like circles and lines inside the shape to represent different parts of the inequality. Combine these elements to create a complete geometric model that illustrates the connection between algebraic operations and geometric intuition.
