Depending on what information is given and what the problem is, it might be easier to represent a

linear equation in one form over another. \ \

For example, if you are given the slope and the -intercept, you could represent the equation in

slope-intercept form.

If you are given a point and the slope, you could represent the equation in point-slope form.

If you are trying to graph an equation using the -and -intercepts, you could represent the equation

in intercept form of line equation. \ \
