I am trying to get a graph to show up when a student enters a point-slope equation.

Name your input, here input1. In your graph CL:

```auto
function(`f`): parseEquation(input1.latex).differenceFunction("x","y")

```

In your graph:

```auto
0=f(x,y)

```

You can set a dummy function for f(x,y) in the graph, so you can choose colors and other display options. It will be overwritten by the CL anyway.

This method will graph any equation, and will not “require” point-slope form.
