Answer:

let A(4,0) and B(8,5)

then to find the equation of line AB

we should find the slope (a) of AB which is:

a = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

a= (yB - yA)/(xB - xA)

a= 5 - 0 / 8 - 4

a= 5/4

then the equation is y= ax+b

where b is to be determined by substituting either A or B coordinates in the equation,

I'll take both

taking A:

yA= axA+b

0= (5/4)×4+b

b= -5

taking B:

yB= axB+b

5= (5/4)×8+b

b= -5

then the equation of AB is

y=5/4 x -5
