I NEED HELP ASAP Write an equation in point-slope form with the given characteristics Passes through (1,8) and (-2,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Use the slope formula, , and the given points to find the slope. and represent the x and y values of one point the line must intersect, and and represent the x and y values of another point the line must also intersect:

=

=

2) Using the point-slope formula, , use the slope you just calculated and substitute it for m. Choose any of the two points given (I chose (1,8)) and substitute its x and y values for and . Don't worry, the equation of the line is the same no matter which point you choose (unless the question specifies which one you need to choose):

step-by-step explanation:

because linear equations are a lot simpler than quadratics equations, and linear equations formula is a lot easier to memorize. that's why i think they're harder.
