In this exercise, your task is to use persistent selection, hover selection, and color to explore potential clusters in scatterplots of 2017 HPI against the percentage of home ownership and the employment rate in a state.

plotly and crosstalk have already been loaded for you, and the linked scatterplots are stored in the linked_plots object.
