The discussion centers on calculating the definite integral of a function f(x) defined by a sloped line over specified intervals. The user identifies the integral from 2 to 4 as 5.9 and applies the property of definite integrals to find the integral from 4 to 8. By using the values of the integrals, they conclude that the integral from 4 to 8 equals 1.4. There is an emphasis on understanding how to derive the slope of the line for accurate calculations. The conversation highlights the application of integral properties in solving for areas under curves.

screenshot to avoid typosok I assume f(x) is the eq of a sloped line.. well at the simplest option
at $2\ge x \ge 8$ so $y=\dfrac{7.3}{6}$ but I don't know how to get the slope so $\displaystyle\int_2^4 f(x) = 5.9$

property of definite integrals ...

$\displaystyle \int_a^b f(x) \, dx + \int_b^c f(x) \, dx = \int_a^c f(x) \, dx$
 
so $\displaystyle\int_4^8f(x) =7.3-5.9=1.4$
