If you later move the point to a different location, the coordinates follow the
point and update automatically.
Displaying the Equation of a Geometric Object
You can display the equation of a line, tangent line, circle shape, or geometric
conic, provided the object was constructed in the Graphing View or within the
Analytic Window of the Plane Geometry View.
Note: Due to differences in the numerical representations of analytic and
geometric conics, the capability to convert a geometric conic to an analytic
template may sometimes be unavailable. This is done in order to avoid a
situation where the template-based conic would be different from the geometric
one.
1. From the Actions menu, click CoordinatesandEquations.
2. Move the pointer to the object.
The equation for the object appears.
Note: If you approach a defined point on the line or the center point of a
circle, the coordinates of that point are displayed instead of the equation.
Move the pointer away from the defined point to obtain the equation of the
object.
3. Click to attach the equation to the pointer.
4. Move the equation to the desired location, and click to anchor it.
5. Press Esc to exit the tool.
