Live construction

Prepare the plane

A parameter will drive both coordinates.

Keep the same physical scale on both axes so the generated path is not visually distorted.

As t runs from −3 to 3, what path will P trace?

Teacher cue

Parameter t = −2 −33

Parameter range Travel rate

Keyboard: left and right arrows change step, space controls motion, R resets.
