See a solution process below:

Explanation:

This equation is in slope intercept form. The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is: #y = color(red)(m)x + color(blue)(b)#

Where #color(red)(m)# is the slope and #color(blue)(b)# is the y-intercept value.

#y = color(red)(2)x + color(blue)(9)#

Therefore:

  • The Slope Is: #color(red)(m = 2)#

  • The #y#-intercept Is: #color(blue)(b = 9)# or #(0, color(blue)(9))#
