Gradient= -2
y-intercept= 2

Explanation:

Rearrange the equation to make y your subject.

y=-2x+2

From the equation, you already know that -2 is m (from the equation y=mx+c, whereby m is your gradient) which means -2 is your gradient.

From the equation you would also know that 2 is your y-intercept. Also from the equation y=mx+c where c is your y-intercept.
