Answer:

y = -2

Explanation:

You would use the Point-Slope Formula since we are given a point:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y + 2 = 0

y = -2

Because there was no rate of change [slope] given, it was automatically assumed to be a zero slope, which is a horizontal line.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
