Question

Which form of the equation of a line do you prefer to use? Justify your position with an example that shows that your choice is better than another. Have reasons.

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

I prefer to use the equation of the form $y=mx+c$.

Step 1: Given information

We are given lines and we are asked which method we will use to represent this lines 

Step 2: Explanation

I will prefer to use the slope intercept form given by $y=mx+c$

Consider the example $y=-x+2$

By this we can find out the values of $slope\left(m\right),y-intercept\left(c\right)$
