The document discusses different forms for writing linear equations based on available information. It explains that the slope-intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. It also covers point-slope form, which is used when given a point and slope, as y - y1=m(x-x1). Finally, it discusses finding the slope from two points as m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) when the slope is unknown.
