1. The problem is to find the equation of the line passing through the points $A(2,3)$ and $B(4,7)$.
2. The formula for the slope $m$ of a line through two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is:
$$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$$
3. Substitute the coordinates of points $A$ and $B$:
$$m=\frac{7-3}{4-2}=\frac{4}{2}$$
4. Simplify the fraction:
$$m=\frac{\cancel{4}}{\cancel{2}}=2$$
5. Use the point-slope form of the line equation:
$$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$$
6. Substitute $m=2$ and point $A(2,3)$:
$$y-3=2(x-2)$$
7. Expand the right side:
$$y-3=2x-4$$
8. Add 3 to both sides:
$$y=2x-4+3$$
9. Simplify:
$$y=2x-1$$
The equation of the line passing through points $A(2,3)$ and $B(4,7)$ is $$y=2x-1$$.
