Answer:

[tex]f(x)=5x-7[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line passes through the points;

[tex](x_1,y_1)=(3,8)[/tex]

and

[tex](x_2,y_2)=(4,13)[/tex]

Let us find the slope using;

[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{13-8}{4-3}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{5}{1}=5[/tex]

The equation is given by;

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

We substitute the values into the formula to obtain;

[tex]y-8=5(x-3)[/tex]

[tex]y=5x-15+8[/tex]

[tex]y=5x-7[/tex]

There the equation of the line is

[tex]f(x)=5x-7[/tex]
