Step (1): NO2+
F2 ------> NO2F + F Rate (1): k1[NO2][F2]
Step (2): NO2 + F -------> NO2F Rate (2): k2[NO2][F]
Overall Reaction: 2 NO2 + F2 ---------> 2NO2F
Step (1) and (2) add up to an overall reaction that matches the stoichiometry of the given equation. The rate of Step (2) is consistent with the experimental rate law. Therefore, the proposed mechanism works. The slowest elementary process gives the rate of the overall reaction. Since the rate of Step (2) matches the experimental rate law, Step (2) is the rate determinant. Step (1) has a faster reaction.
