The equation of line passing through two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)(x_1,y_1)\ \text{and}\ (x_2,y_2) is:

yy1=y2y1x2x1(xx1)y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} (x-x_1)

Here two points are ​(3​,−2​) and ​(5​,2​).

Let (x1,y1)=(3,2),(x2,y2)=(5,2)(x_1,y_1)=(3,-2), (x_2,y_2)=(5,2)

Thus, equation of line is

y+2=2+253(x3)y+2=2x6y=2x8f(x)=2x8y+2=\frac{2+2}{5-3} (x-3)\\ y+2=2x-6\\ y=2x-8\\ f(x)=2x-8
