y = 3 is a horizontal line. Therefore, any lines parallel to it will also need to be completely horizontal.

To pass through the point (-2, -8), the new line will need to pass through the y-value of the given point.

Thus, the new line must be horizontal and pass through the y-axis at -8.

Answer: C. y = -8

Hope this helps!
