Pick any two of the points given. Let's use (0,3) and (3,3). Let's calculate the slope of the line:

Notice that no matter which pair of points you select, you will have a numerator of zero in the slope fraction, hence the slope is zero.

The line intersects the

-axis at (0,3), hence the

-intercept is 3.

Now we can use the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line to write the equation:

or more simply:
