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 $-2$ .
