The slope is $-3$ and the y-intercept is $2$ .

The slope-intercept form for a linear equation is:

$y=mx+b$ ,

where:

$m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

Given:

$g(x)=2-3x$

Substitute $y$ for $g(x)$ .

$y=2-3x$

Rewrite the equation.

$y=-3x+2$

$m=-3$

$b=2$

The slope is $-3$ and the y-intercept is $2$ .
