Slope is $\"m=%282-%28-4%29%29%2F%28-1-%28-10%29%29=6%2F9=2%2F3\"$ ;
\n" ); document.write( "Keeping as $\"y=mx%2Bb\"$ form, solve for b gives $\"b=y-mx\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "Use either point, trying (-1, 2) to solve for the value for b.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"b=2-%282%2F3%29%28-1%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"b=2%2B2%2F3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28b=2%262%2F3%29\"$ --------THIS IS THE y-INTERCEPT. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
