Thru (2, 4) and (3, 5)
Your first step is to determine the slope. Recall that the slope formula is
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
In this case, (x1, y1) = (2, 4) and (x2, y2) = (3, 5).
m = (5 - 4)/(3 - 2)
m = 1/1
m = 1
Now that we have slope m = 1, we use the slope formula once more to find the equation of the line. This time, we use
(x1, y1) = (2, 4) and (x2, y2) = (x, y), with m = 1.
(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = m
(y - 4)/(x - 2) = 1
y - 4 = 1(x - 2)
y = x - 2 + 4
y = x + 2

Points(2,4) and (3,5)
Standard form of linear equation is
y = mx + b
m = slope
b = y-intercept (value of x when y = 0)
Slope = m = 5-4/3-2 = 1/1 = 1
m = 1
Substitution
y = 1(x) + b
y = x + b
__________
Take point (2,4)
Substitute these values to the eqaution to find b
4 = 2 + b
4-2 = 2 - 2 + b
2 = b
Let's try Point (3,5) if we can get the same value of b
5 = 3 + b
5-3 = 3-3 + b
2 = b
________________________
From our calculation, we
find m = 1
and b = 2
Therefore our equation is
y = x + 2 ===> the answer.

Using the point-slope method,
slope, m = (5 - 4)/(3 - 2) = 1
(y - 4)/(x - 2) = 1
y - 4 = x - 2
y = x + 2
or
y = mx + b
4 = 2m + b
5 = 3m + b
m = 1
4 = 2*1 + b
b = 2
y = x + 2

use the line formula y= mx +c.
so with the given information:
4 = 2m + c ----- (1)
5 = 3m + c ----- (2)
so from (1):
c= 4 - 2m
sub into (2) gives:
5= 3m + (4 -2m)
hence 5-4 = (3-2)m
therefore m=1,
sub into (1) [or 2 your choice]
gives c = 2
and the line equation is y = x + 2

m = (5 - 4) / (3 - 2)
m = 1
y - 4 = 1.(x - 2)
y - 4 = x - 2
y = x + 2
