Any chance you could expand it to show elliptic curve addition?
And related, can anyone help me understand why elliptic curve subtraction is not possible?

I am not sure what you are looking for in a subtraction. Like in all groups P-Q is perfectly well defined as P+(-Q), so as before: first reflect the point Q through the x axis to get -Q, and then connect that point to P to get -(P+(-Q)), and do one final reflection to get P+(-Q) which is the only consistent interpretation of P-Q.
