Writing Equations in Slope-Intercept Form

Why is the slope intercept form considered the most useful for graphing equations?

• It is the easiest to graph and understand at a glance.

• It is rarely used in real-world applications.

• It is the most complex form.

• It is the only form for writing equations.
