The equation of a linear line is :
Y = mx + c
Where,
m = slope of line, c = intercept and x, y are variables
Therefore, comparing the basic equation (y = mx + c) and the equation as per the question y = -2
The x component in the line is not present, therefore the slope is zero i.e. m = 0
And the constant term in the equation is -2 therefore, the intercept would be c = -2.
