Question

Help? Will become a fan & give medal to best answer! :)

Compare the benefits of writing an equation in standard form to the benefits of writing an equation in slope–intercept form.

Answer 1

By using slope intercept form, it becomes easier to graph since in y = mx + b, b is the y intercept, which can be easily drawn on the graph, and mx gives the slope, which can be also drawn on the graph by using rise over run.

Answer 2

Thank you!

Answer 3

The different equation forms lend themselves to different methods of solving equations for the unknowns. The Standard form allows you to use the Ellimination method easily or the Substitution method. The Slope-Intersept form lends itself to graphing the equation/line easiler than the Standard form.
