See a solution process below:

Explanation:

The equation #y = -2# defines a horizontal line where for each and every value of #x#, #y# is equal to #-2#.

So, for #x = 0#, #y = -2# Therefore the #y#-intercept is #(0, -2)#

Because this is a horizontal line parallel to the #x# access at a point of #-2# on the #y#-axis, there is no #x#-intercept.
