hi,

a point is given  ( x; y)

standar line equation is  :  y = ax+b

So  with  (3;5)  and  (8;15)  we have  :  

   3a+b = 5

   8a+b = 15

so :  

8a+b - ( 3a +b) =  15 -5

8a +b -3a -b = 10

8a-3a = 10

5a = 10

   a = 10/5

    a = 2

if a = 2  so  3*2 +b = 5

                     6+b = 5

                       b = 5-6

                       b = -1

so let check :  

8*2 + (-1) = 16 -1 = 15

and  3*2 -1 = 6-1 = 5

coordonnate works for both point, so line  is   y = 2x -1
