y = -2

==================

A straight line parallel to the x-axis has a slope of 0 because it does not change along the x-axis.

The equation of a straight line is in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

In this case, the line is parallel to the x-axis, so the slope is 0.

The y-intercept given is -2, so the equation of the line becomes:

  • y = 0*x - 2,

which simplifies to:

  • y = -2
