slope $= - 1$ $=-1$
Intercept $= 2$ $=2$

$x + y = 2$ $x+y=2$

Solve it for $y$ $y$

Your equation is in the slope-intercept form

$y = 2 - x$ $y=2-x$

The constant term $2$ $2$ is $y$ $y$ intercept.
The co-efficient of $x$ $x$ is slope. Slope is $- 1$ $-1$

How do you find the slope and y intercept for: x+y =2x+y=2x+y =2?
