AI Drawing Prompt Reference

In a coordinate plane, start by defining a line k using a slope and an intercept (so that k is the mirror axis). Create two points G and D from that same coordinate relation, then draw the line k through D and G. Choose three points A, B, and C to form a triangle. Reflect each of A, B, and C across the line k to obtain A′, B′, and C′, and draw the reflected triangle A′B′C′. Connect corresponding vertices with segments AA′, BB′, and CC′, and mark the intersection points of these segments with k as H, I, and J respectively. Draw the angles ∠AHJ, ∠BIJ, and ∠C JH, then compute and display the midpoints of the segments A′H and AH, B′I and BI, and C′J and CJ to illustrate midpoint properties under reflection.
