AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw an ellipse to demonstrate its parametric equation. Start by plotting the coordinate axes and finding their intersection as the origin. Determine the major and minor axes of the ellipse, rotating a point on the major axis to locate a point on the minor axis. Then, use these points to draw auxiliary lines and find their intersection. Finally, connect these key points with line segments to form the ellipse's outline, dynamically illustrating the geometric meaning of its parametric equation.
