Answer:


y=-1


Explanation:

A Horizontal Line has equation of the form
y=a where
a is the y-coordinate.

The point here given in this problem is
(-2,-1)

What's the y-coordinate? It is
-1

So the Horizontal Line equation will be
y=-1

For a horizontal line, gradient is zero;
y=mx+c
since m=0
y=c
Replacing for y from given point;
-1=c
c=-1
y-1
