Given points are .

First, find the slope.

Substitute 8 for y₂,  2 for y₁,3 for x₂, and 5 for x₁  in slope formula.

                       (Product of two same signs is positive)

                          (Add: )

                             (Add: )

                                  (Divide: )

You know the slope and a point on the line, so use point - slope form

with either given point to write an equation of line.

Choose .

     (Substitute 2 for y₁, 5 for x₁ and )

                  (Product of two same signs is positive)

              (Apply distributive property: )

                  (Multiply: )

Apply subtraction property of equality:If a = b then a c = b c.

       (Subtract 2 from each side)

             (Apply additive inverse property: )

                   (Apply additive identity property: )

                         (Subtract: )

The equation of line is .
