Answer:

y = 3 passes through (8, 3) and is therefore parallel to y = -2

Explanation:

Any line parallel to y = -2 is a horizontal one, and it has the same slope (zero) as does y = -2.

We could invent the horizontal line y = 3 (which comes from the point (8, 3) and surmise that it is parallel to the given line y = -2.

Thus, y = 3 passes through (8, 3) and is therefore parallel to y = -2.

In the future, please share any answer choices that are give you. Thank you.
