Gradient= $- 2$ $-2$
$y$ $y$ -intercept= $2$ $2$

Explanation:

Rearrange the equation to make $y$ $y$ your subject.

$y = - 2 x + 2$ $y=-2x+2$

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

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