Hi, community,

Is there a way to add two draggable points on my second page so that the coordinates are shown to students for their chosen points?

Or, is there a way to make the plot generated from students’ input from a table as a background of my next graph?

Hi Harry,

How do you want the coordinates shown to students - in the table you included, or on the graph?  
Here’s an edited copy that has two draggable points with their coordinates shown on the graph: [[Copy of] 2-20 Fit a Line (3 pages) • Activity Builder by Desmos](https://teacher.desmos.com/activitybuilder/custom/654504e742be1b67fe57f40b)  
I changed the sketch on screen 2 into a graph so that students can drag. I also added in a dashed line connecting the points which you can turn off if you don’t need. You already had the graph hooked up include students’ input from screen 1, so I didn’t touch that 🙂 I hope this helps!
