AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a coordinate plane with a large square border and the x- and y-axes. Include two lines that pass through a common point P; choose their y-intercepts by selecting points on the y-axis at two computed values, producing two lines (r1 and r2) with potentially different slopes. Add another pair of line segments (stud1 and stud2) by selecting endpoints from a grid region and joining each pair, so their directions visually relate to the two main lines. Finally, place small arrow-like line segments to indicate a general instruction direction and the slope directions for the two lines, forming a graphical lesson setup for solving systems of linear equations.
