To find the equation of the line passing through the point (2, 2) and (6, 3), start by finding the slope using the slope formula:

Label the points given:
x1 = 2
y1 = 2
x2 = 6
y2 = 3
Substitute these values into the formula:
m=
Simplify

Now that we have the slope m = , we will use the formula
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 2 = (x - 2)
Multiply both sides by 4 to get rid of the fraction:
4(y - 2) = x - 2
Simplify
4y - 8 = x - 2
Add 8 to both sides:
4y = x - 2 + 8
Subtract x from both sides:
4y - x = -2 + 8
Simplify
4y - x = 6
