You have two coordinate points.
(2,-2)
and
(3,-9)
Let
(x1,y1)
(x2,y2)
Simple input the points into the formula then calculate the slope, which is m.
Shadow:
Since slope intercept form is just: \[y = mx + b\]
You just need the slope (m) and b( the y coordinate of when the slope aka line passes the y axis, or in other words, where the slope meets the point of (0, then a y coordinate).
Shadow:
|dw:1711742509956:dw|
That is the y intercept point

Thank you !

To find the y intercept, you simply use point slope form.
Point-Slope Form
\[y - y_{1} = m(x - x_{1})\]
Input the slope into the formula, then either of the coordinates. Once you use algebra to simplify the equation, you will get your slope intercept form.
