Slope is #0# and intercept is #-2#.

The equation #y=-2# is represented by a horizontal line parallel to #x# axis as on this line #y# is always #-2#..

As it parallel to #x# axis, its Slope is zero.

Further, it obviously intersects #x# axis at #y=-2# and hence intercept is #-2#.

So the equation is

#y=m*x+c# , where #m# is slope and #c# is intercept and equation becomes

#y=0*x-2# (as slope is 0 and intercept is #-2#, i.e.

#y=-2#.

Converting #y=-2# in the form #y=m*x+c# will also give

Slope as #0# and intercept is #-2#.
