Final answer: y = -2

Explanation:

We will need to the point slope form. As it what is given, bests suit the formula

y-y_1 = m (x-x_1)

m is the slope
(x_1, y_1) is just the point given

With the information given, fill in the formula

{(m= 0), (x_1= -1), (y_1= -2) :}

y + 2 = 0 ( x + 1 ) larr note that two minuses make a plus

y + 2 = 0

y = -2 larr slope-intercept form

If you want the graph this answer, it would be a horizontal line on the y axis.
