The slope is $-2$ and the $y$ -intercept is at ( $0,3$ ).

The "slope-intercept" form of a straight line equation is

$y = mx + b$ ,

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

Your equation is

$y = -2x +3$

If we compare the two equations, we see that $m = -2$ and $b = 3$ .

So the slope is $-2$ and the $y$ -intercept is at ( $0,3$ ).
