STEP 4: Find the slope

Locate two points on the line


The two points are (2,0) and (4,3)

Use the slope formula to find the slope of the line

m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}

Plugging in x_{1} = 2, y_{1}= 0 and x_{2}= 4 and y_{2} = 3

we get m = \frac{3-0}{4-2}

m = \frac{3}{2}

STEP 5:  Write the equation in point-slope form

Plugging in the values of x_{1} = 4 , y_{1} = 3 and m = \frac{3}{2}

in y - y_{1} = m( x - x_{1})

we get y-3 = \frac{3}{2} (x - 4)
