Question

Which form of a linear equation is more efficient for determining each characteristic?

Slope
x -intercept
y -intercept
If you want to use your calculator to graph an equation, which form is more efficient?

Answer 1

1/ Point slope form is more efficient for determining the Slope

2/ Standard form is more efficient for determining x-intercept and

y-intercept

3/ If you want to use your calculator to graph an equation, the Point slope form is more efficient

Explanation:

1/ I say point slope form because the slope in this form is a point on the line, and he if knows the point on the graph and slope, he can graph the line easily.

2/ I say standard form because x​ and ​y​ intercepts ​ of a graph, that is, the point where the graph crosses the ​ x-axis and the point where it crosses the ​ y ​-axis. So, it is the easiest form to find the x and y intercepts.

3/ If he knows a point and the slope he can graph it easily.
