The equation of the line can be expressed as y = (2/3)x - 4/3 OR

2x - 3y = -4

How do we write the equation of the line?

We can use the two-point form of the equation of a line or calculate the slope (rise over run) and then use the point-slope form or the slope-intercept form.

slope m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Given the points (1,2) and (4,4)

∴ m = (4-2)/(4-1)

m = 2/3

y−y₁ = m(x−x₁)

y - 2 = 2/3(x - 1)

y - 2 = (2/3)x - 2/3

y = (2/3)x - 2/3 + 2

y = (2/3)x - 4/3

OR

2x - 3y = -4
