Answer:

y = -1

Explanation:

A horizontal line has slope zero (0). Therefore its slope y-intercept form should look like:


y=mx+b\\y=(0)x +b

Therefore, using the given point (-2, -1) be on this line implies that it satisfies its equation:


(-1)=(0)*(-2)+b\\-1=b

Therefore, the equation of the line is:
y=-1
