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 $y = m x + c$

Consider the example $y = - x + 2$

By this we can find out the values of $s l o p e (m), y - i n t e r c e p t (c)$
