Sure, let's draw the line using the two given points, (-5, 3) and (5, 3).

Step 1: Take a graph paper, or you can draw the Cartesian coordinate system on any sheet of paper. Mark the x-axis (horizontal axis) and y-axis (vertical axis). It's common to have 0 in the center.

Step 2: Now we will plot the points. Start with the point (-5, 3). From the origin (0,0), move 5 units left (as the x-coordinate is negative) and 3 units upward to reach the point (-5, 3), and mark this point.

Step 3: Next, plot the point (5,3). From the origin, move 5 units to the right and 3 units upward to plot the point (5,3), and mark this point.

Step 4: Now that you have your two points plotted, draw a straight line that passes through them.

We see that the line is horizontal. That's because the y-coordinates of both points are the same (3). In a Cartesian coordinate system, when two points have the same y-coordinate, the line connecting them is always horizontal.

So, the line passing through the points (-5,3) and (5,3) is a horizontal line positioned at y-coordinate equal to 3. This means that for any x-coordinate on this line, the corresponding y-coordinate will be 3.

Remember: you can always verify this yourself by picking any point along the line and seeing that its y-coordinate is indeed 3.
