The slope is #-3# and the y-intercept is #2#.

The slope-intercept form for a linear equation is:

#y=mx+b#,

where:

#m# is the slope and #b# is the y-intercept.

Given:

#g(x)=2-3x#

Substitute #y# for #g(x)#.

#y=2-3x#

Rewrite the equation.

#y=-3x+2#

#m=-3#

#b=2#

The slope is #-3# and the y-intercept is #2#.
