Wherever you want to change how fast something turns and how strong something turns. Gears allow you to change a slow and strong movement into a faster but weaker movement, or the other way around.
Gears can also be used to change the direction of rotation.

Where are sliding gears used?
Sliding Gears in a transmission are straight-tooth spur gears with a taper (also known as a lead) to make engaging easier. Helical gears are mostly used in a transmission because spur gears produce gear noise and have a great strain on the teeth of the gear since only one tooth can be in contact at any given time. But because helical gears cannot be taken out of mesh, spur gears are used for the reverse gear because reverse spins the opposite way and cannot be in constant mesh.
