Given the point:

(-1, 2)

The line is a horizontal line.

Let's find the equation in slope-intercept form.

Apply the slope-intercept form of a linear equation:

y = mx + b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Since the line is a horizontal line, there is no slope.

The slope will be zero.

The y-intercept of a horizontal line is the y-coordinate of any point on the line.

Therefore, the y-intercept is = 2.

Hence, to write the equation of the line, we have:

y = 0x + 2

y = 2

Therefore, the equation of the horizontal line containing (-1, 2) is:

y = 2

ANSWER:


y=2
