Answer

$x-y=-1$

Work Step by Step

With the given points, $(2,3)\text{ and } (4,5),$ then \begin{align*} y_1&= 3 ,\\y_2&= 5 ,\\x_1&= 2 ,\text{ and }\\ x_2&= 4 .\end{align*} Using $m=\dfrac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}$ or the Slope Formula, the slope, $m,$ of the line is \begin{align*} m&=\dfrac{3-5}{2-4} \\\\&= \dfrac{-2}{-2} \\\\&= 1 .\end{align*} Using $ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) $ or the Point-Slope Form of linear equations, with the point $(2,3)$ and $m=1,$ then \begin{align*} y-3&=1(x-2) .\end{align*} Using the properties of equality, in the form $ax+by=c$ or the Standard Form of linear equations, the equation above is equivalent to \begin{align*} y-3&=x-2 \\ -x+y-3&=x-2-x \\ -x+y-3&=-2 \\ -x+y-3+3&=-2+3 \\ -x+y&=1 \\ -1(-x+y)&=(1)(-1) \\ x-y&=-1 .\end{align*}
