The slope is $m = - 2$ $m = -2$ or $m = - \frac{2}{1}$ $m=-2/1$

The y-intercept is $b = + 3$ $b=+3$

This equation is in the slope-intercept form.

$y = m x + b$ $y = mx + b$

Where
$m = s l o p e$ $m = slope$
and
$b = y$ $b= y$ intercept

Therefore for the equation

$y = - 2 x + 3$ $y = -2x + 3$

The slope is $m = - 2$ $m = -2$ or $m = - \frac{2}{1}$ $m=-2/1$

The y-intercept is $b = + 3$ $b=+3$
