AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a geometric figure including points, segments, and a vector to demonstrate vector translation. Start by plotting a point on the y-axis and connecting it to form two segments. Then, draw a vector. Use this vector to translate the original segments and points, obtaining translated segments and points. Finally, draw lines connecting the original and translated points, and the original and translated segments, to observe the translation effect.
