Format the top (title placeholder) box as you want it for the first line.
Be sure you set it to Left justification.

Then format the lower box (body text placeholder) as you want it for the second
line of text and move it up so that it's aligned and positioned correctly.

Close the slide master view and add a new slide to your presentation.
In the Outline pane, type in the text you want for the first line, then press
<ENTER> and type the text for the second line. That should make voila.
