Certainly, to write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form


(\(y = mx + b\)), where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, you need either the slope and a point on the line or two points on the line.

Assuming you have two points
\((x_1, y_1)\) and
\((x_2, y_2)\), you can find the slope m using the formula
\(m = \frac{{y_2 - y_1}}{{x_2 - x_1}}\).

Once you have the slope, you can choose one of the points to substitute into the equation. The y-intercept b can be found by rearranging the slope-intercept form:


\(b = y - mx\).

For a more specific answer, provide the coordinates of two points on the line or the slope and a point, and I'll guide you through the calculations to write the equation in slope-intercept form.
