    Slope intercept form of a line is y=mx+b where m = slope and b=y-intercept.

    So, we need to convert the given equation in this form. For that simply solve the equation for y.

    x-y=-2

    -y=-x-2 Subtract x from each sides.

    -y * (-1) = - 1 * (-x-2) Multily each sides by - 1 to isolate y.

    y=x+2

    So, y=x+2 is the slope intercept form.

    Next step is to compare this equation with y=mx+b. After comparing we will get m=1 and b=2

    So, slope=1 and y-intercept=2
