Slope =2,
y-intercept =2,
x-intercept =1.

Explanation:

We start with:
2x+y=2.

The equation of a straight line is usually written as:
y=mx+c, where m is the gradient and c the y-intercept. So, we will put it in that format:
2x+y=2,
y=2x2. So, we know that m=2 and that the y-intercept is at 2.

If we want to know the x-intercept, we can simply substitute y by 0 and solve for x:
0=2x2,
2x=2,
x=1.

Hope it Helps! :D .
