Solve for x in following equation:

answer:  1494


Pretty accurate!

Scatter Plot Game

    print("You got it!")
else:
    print(f"Sorry, the correct answer was ({x}, {y}) but you provided ({gussed_x}, {gussed_y})")

Guess the location of point (x, y) on graph:  -28, 22


Sorry, the correct answer was (-25, 24) but you provided (-28, 22)
