see below:

Explanation:

If the line is horizontal then it is parallel to x-axis which means its slope is 0.

so you can use 'point slope formula' to get the equation.I'm using that to solve it.

point slope formula---#(y-y1)/(x-x1)=m# (where m=slope)

so according to this ,eqn will be:
#(y+3)/(x-2)=0#

simplifying it :

#y+3=0#
therefore, # y=-3# (the final answer.)
