I want to have students drag the vertices of a triangle to see its reflection change. On the next screen, I’d like their version of the triangle and it image to appear in a graph (or sketch with graph background). That part is working, but I lose the point labels. (I have looked through previous posts about this and can’t find the code I’m looking for.)

Also, I’d love to capture the new coordinates and display them with the point labels.

Hi Elizabeth,

I took your graph on Slide 1 and copied it into the graph on Slide 2. Then I disabled the movable points. Lastly, I mapped the points from Slide 1 to the same points on Slide 2 via CL.

Basically, instead of using the graph1 CalculatorState as a static background, I copied the expression list into the graph component so that I could assign values in the CL on Slide 2.
