its already in slope intercept form so no math required!!
the slope is the constant in front of the x
so the slope is 4.3
to find the y intercept you have to set x=0 (because when x=0 the line will only cross through the y axis at a certain point)
so, y = 4.3(0) -2
and the y intercept is -2
hope I wasn't too confusing!

y = 4.3x - 2
it is in slope-intercept form y = mx + b
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept
slope = 4.3 or 43/10 as a fraction
y-intercept = -2

slope = 4.3
y intercept = -2
This is a line equation. y = slope times x +/- the y intercept.
