There is no $x$ -intercept.

The $y$ -intercept is $(0,-2)$

The line $y=-2$ is a horizontal line.
It passes through the $y$ -axis at $(0,-2)$

The value of $y$ stays the same, regardless of which $x$ -value is used.

There is no $x$ - intercept, because:

There is no x intercept if the line is y only

There is a straight, horizontal line going across the graph at y=-2. Therefore, the y intercept is -2
