$y = - 2 x - 9$

Step 1

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Step 2

Find the values of $m$ and $b$ using the form $y = m x + b$ .

$m = - 2$

$b = - 9$

Step 3

The slope of the line is the value of $m$ , and the y-intercept is the value of $b$ .

Slope: $- 2$

y-intercept: $(0, - 9)$
