Answer:

3x - 2y = 2

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

calculate m using the slope formula

m =
(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 5) ← 2 points on the line

m =
(5-2)/(4-2) =
(3)/(2) , then

y =
(3)/(2) x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (2, 2 )

2 =
(3)/(2) (2) + c = 3 + c ( subtract 3 from both sides )

- 1 = c

y =
(3)/(2) x - 1 ← equation in slope- intercept form

multiply through by 2 to clear the fraction

2y = 3x - 2 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

- 3x + 2y = - 2 ( multiply through by - 1 )

3x - 2y = 2 ← in standard form
