Description

Cannot make a ggplot object containing geom_function into a ggplotly object.

# Create a function that returns the linear function 3*x-7
linear <- function(x) {
  return(3 * x + 5)
}
# Plot the function. Use range (-5, 5).
p <- ggplot() +
  xlim(-5, 5) +
  geom_function(fun = linear, color = "red")

ggplotly(p)
