Describe when each form of a linear eqaution is useful. I.E explain what you need to know in order to form each equation.
Answers may vary. But... these are some good answers. Slope Intercept Form-Good when given a slope and y- intercept or 2 points. Standard Form-Good when given both intercepts. Point-Slope Form- Good when given a point and the slope.
