The part of the expression the arrow points to isn't shown in the question. However, a general description of the expression will be given to cover all parts of the expression.

Answer:

3 = slope or gradient

-2 = intercept

Explanation:

The expression 3x - 2 is represented in the gradient intercept format:

The general format for a gradient intercept equation is :

mx + b

Where ;

m = Slope ; b = intercept

Comparing the expression with the general format given :

m = 3 = gradient or slope

b = - 2 = intercept
