I'm a beginner in Mathematica; I have a question on a Mathematica homework set, that seems to me should be pretty simplistic, but I seem to be hitting a wall. My error must be completely obvious, but can someone please teach me the proper way of doing this? In the following example, change every Point to a Circle with radius 1/2, centered around the point, using a Rule application.
The code give was
Graphics[{PointSize[.02],Point[{9,5}],Point[{2,-5}],Point[{5,5}],Point[{3,6}],Point[{1,1}],Point[{5,-7}],Point[{-7,4}], Point[{6,-10}],Point[{-6,-2}],Point[{0,8}],Point[{1,4}],Line[{{1,4},{2,5}}],Point[{2,5}]}]
I altered it by
Graphics[{PointSize[.02],Point[{9,5}],Point[{2,-5}],Point[{5,5}],Point[{3,6}],Point[{1,1}],Point[{5,-7}], Point[{-7,4}],Point[{6,-10}],Point[{-6,-2}],Point[{0,8}],Point[{1,4}],Line[{{1,4},{2,5}}],Point[{2,5}] /.{a_Point->Circle[{a},.5]
Of course, this leads the program into entering the entire Point{x,y} into the coordinate place in the circle. Help please?
