Answer:

equation of the line: 2x - y = 1

Explanation:

Given coordinates: (2, 3) and (3,5)​

find slope of the equation:


  • (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

using the formula:


(5-3)/(3-2)


2\\ .............this is slope, also refereed as (m) in short form.

using the equation formula:

  • y - y1 = m ( x - x1 )

using the formula:

→ y - 3 = 2 ( x - 2 )

→ y - 3 = 2x - 4

→ y = 2x -4 +3

→ y = 2x - 1

→ -2x + y = -1

→ (-2x + y)/-1 = -1 /-1 [ divide both sides by -1 ]

→ 2x - y = 1 .......final answer in standard form where ( Ax + By = C ) where "A" should be positive and "C" constant on the right hand side.
