Answer

No. because a vertical line's equation does not have a slope-intercept form.

Work Step by Step

The slope-intercept form is $y=mx+b$, where $m$ equals to the slope of the line and $b$ is the $y$-intercept. However, for a vertical line, the slope is not defined, therefore such a form of the equation can not be written.
