False. First of all, I presume by "it" you mean the equation which solution set is the set of ordered pairs comprising the line in question. While it is convenient to have the equation in slope-intercept form, the slope and intercept can be determined from the standard form coefficients thus:

Given

The slope is given by:

And the

-intercept is given by:
