a little help. find the equation of the line which passes through points. A(2,3) and B(4,8)... i dont get it can you help me please

The first thing you must do is find the slope. Let m = slope m = (8-3)/(4-2) m = 5/2....This is the slope. We now use the point-slope formula and one of the points given to you to find your equation of the line passing through the given two points.. I will use point A(2,3) but you can use point B if you want to. y - y1 = m(x-x1)....This is the point-slope formula. We now plug and chug. y - 3 = (5/2)(x - 2) y - 3 = (5/2)(x) - 5 y = (5/2)(x) - 5 + 3 y = (5/2)(x) - 2....This is your equation of the line that passes through points A and B. The slope is 5/2 and the y-intercept is 3. I hope this helps.
