Technically what you ask cannot be done. The 
-intercept is NOT 2, and the 
-intercept is NOT 
. Intercepts are not numbers, intercepts are points. In 
, points are designated by ordered pairs. It is possible that the -coordinate of the -intercept is 2 and that the -coordinate of the -intercept is .
Making that assumption (since nothing else seems to make any sense), you have two points which is sufficient to uniquely define a line in . Use the two-point form of an equation of a line:
(x\ -\ x_1) )
where )
and )
are the coordinates of the given points.
Then solve your derived equation for in terms of everything else. That is, put it into 
form, where 
is the slope and 
is the -coordinate of the -intercept.

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
